The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
by James McBride
Overall, a beautiful book. I fell in love with the characters and felt inspired by the power of their simple love for one another. I also felt sadness at the experience of the ways trauma has shaped many of their lives and ways of being. I do think the author, at times, stepped out of the story and gave his own personal rants about current politics and modern day issues that took you out of the story in a way that felt cringe. This only happened twice though and doesn’t ruin that the rest of the book, while slow and not plot driven, was beautiful, simple and inspiring.
