Alyth Book Club (Monday 1 September (18:30) Online Only
James McBride, The Heaven And Earth Grocery Store
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighbourhood where Jewish immigrants and African Americans lived side by side through the 1920s and ’30s. In this novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them, it is love and community – heaven and earth – especially in dark times, which sustain us. (ID: 816 0975 2765 Passcode: 785089)
