Description
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store is a novel about the secrets that bind a community together. In 1972, a skeleton was discovered at the bottom of a well in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, uncovering long-held secrets about the residents of Chicken Hill, a neighbourhood where Jewish immigrants and African Americans lived side by side through the 1920s and '30s.
James McBride's book explores the power of love and community in the face of darkness and uncertainty. Through the story of this small town, McBride shows how even in the most difficult times, it is the connections we make with others that sustain us.
This is a story about the people who keep their secrets, and the ones who try to uncover the truth. With its generous and compassionate portrayal of human relationships, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store is a powerful exploration of what it means to be part of a community.
