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

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No

2.0

Update: managed to finish it as an audiobook. 

So many characters for the sake of having many characters, none of them sufficiently developed. Under all those studies I couldn't find a compelling story. Tried pushing through it but gave up at 61%. I feel like this was not a good introduction to James McBride.
