We will be discussing  “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride.

A breathtaking literary whodunit that explores themes of poverty, immigration and the American Dream through the discovery of a corpse in 1970s Pennsylvania.

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 neighbourhood where Jewish immigrants and African Americans lived side by side through the 1920s and ’30s.

In this novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them, James McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community – heaven and earth – that sustain us.
