The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store : a novel
by James McBride

“It’s June 1972, and the Pennsylvania State Police have some questions concerning a skeleton found at the bottom of an old well in the ramshackle Chicken Hill section of Pottstown that’s been marked for redevelopment. But Hurricane Agnes … wash[es] away the skeleton and all other physical evidence of a series of extraordinary events that began more than 40 years earlier, when Jewish and African American citizens shared lives, hopes, and heartbreak in that same neighborhood. The interlocking destinies of these … characters make for tense, absorbing drama and, at times, warm, humane comedy.” (Kirkus Reviews)
