The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
2.25
Anything with rape as a needless plot device gets -1 whole star. This book was charming and offered a complex look at communities forced to band together under racist classism. Some of the assault that occurs made the story better and some felt like disjointed plot-fodder.
