About this listen

James McBride's novel "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" was one of the highly acclaimed works of 2023. Critics swooned over the tale woven by McBride based in a portion of Pottsville, PA called Chicken Hill. In the 1930's. Chicken Hill was largely inhabited by Jews and African American working class families. It deserves all the praise it has received as McBride weaves people from different races, religions, and economic backgrounds into a powerful story of hope, sadness, joy, and the strength of human kindness.
