Reviews from our book club on Heaven & Earth Grocery Store were mixed, but I loved it. I think it was helpful to know generally what the book was about before diving in (a community of Jewish & African Americans coming together to help a fairing impaired young boy). I say this, because in the beginning, there are a lot of quirky characters that can weigh you down until you understand the cultural issues at work in the town in which the novel takes place. Happy Reading!
James McBride could write a how-to book about growing kale indoors and I’d read it. Heaven & Earth is wonderful.
Does he have any other books you’ve also enjoyed?
Deacon King Kong, as I think you mentioned. The Good Lord Bird was my first. I want to read The Color of Water - it’s on my list.
I have to say that This is Happiness was a truly awesome book and I'm glad I read it. I only hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 💖📚
This makes me so excited! I will report back!

That’s great to know going into it. Thank you!
The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store was one of my favorites from last year. Curious to hear what you think! Enjoy your trip!
This makes me even more excited to read it!
