Book Club: "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" In-Person
The Community Library Book Club is hosted the first Wednesday of every other month and led by a diverse range of library staff. Books cover all genres from new fiction to classics to nonfiction, young adult, graphic novels, and everything in between.
February's pick is The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. The discussion will be led by circulation manager Pam Parker.
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 neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store is available at The Community Library in multiple formats. Please come in or talk to our librarians about reserving a copy.
