The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

3.0

This novel introduces a multitude of characters, each intricately woven into the narrative, yet it takes a considerable amount of time before the central plot truly begins to unfold. The slow buildup allows for a deep exploration of the characters' lives and backstories, creating a rich tapestry that provides a nuanced understanding of their motivations and relationships.
