A review by amaliabu
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

4.0

3.5 stars - No doubt James McBride is a brilliant writer with the ability to write such vulnerable and lively characters - my only drawback was the pacing and set up of the overall story. I love a good character study, but something about it felt displaced, maybe there were just way too many characters introduced that I felt myself skim reading large portions of the tangents when new character appeared.
