SUMMARY:Verve Book Club “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride
DESCRIPTION:“A murder mystery locked inside a Great American Novel . . . Charming\, smart\, heart-blistering\, and heart-healing.” —Danez Smith\, The New York Times Book Review \nFrom James McBride\, author of the National Book Award–winning The Good Lord Bird\, comes a novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them. In 1972\, when workers in Pottstown\, Pennsylvania\, were digging the foundations for a new development\, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. \nAs these characters’ stories overlap and deepen\, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it\, McBride shows us that even in dark times\, it is love and community-heaven and earth-that sustain us.
