Notes From Your Bookseller From the author of Deacon King Kong and National Book Award winner The Good Lord Bird comes a gorgeous novel about a small town and the bonds of community that are formed between marginalized groups in order to survive. From James McBride, author of the bestselling Oprah’s Book Club pick Deacon King Kong and the National Book Award–winning The Good Lord Bird, a novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep themIn 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. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America 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.Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.THE HEAVEN & EARTH GROCERY STORE | Kirkus Reviews THE HEAVEN & EARTH GROCERY STORE If it's possible for America to have a poet laureate, why can't James McBride be its storyteller-in-chief? #PouredOver: James McBride on The Heaven and Earth "People who love books, we're the last line of reason and discourse…" National Book Award winner James McBride's newest novel, The Heaven James McBride's Heaven & Earth Grocery Store Named Each year, Barnes & Noble booksellers vote for the book that they have been most proud to sell, and this year they have chosen The Heaven “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store” is Not Heaven on Earth James McBride, author of the New York Times bestselling book “Deacon King Kong,” as well as National Book Award-winning “The Good Lord Bird,” The 'Heaven & Earth Grocery Store' Novel by James I bought the book earlier this year because I was intrigued by it.
