The BIPOC Book Group will be discussing The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride, on February 24 from 6-7 pm on Zoom!

McBride’s 2023 novel spans a space between historical fiction and historical mystery, and the NY Times Book Review calls it “a charming, smart, heart-blistering and heart-healing” work.

We could all benefit from a bit of heart-healing just now. James McBride’s novels have won many prizes, including the National Book Award. Join us for the read and for the discussion.

For Zoom information, contact BIPOC Book Group facilitator Kat Wolfram at kmwolfram at @gmail.com, or UUSS Congregational Life Coordinator Kristin Cleveland at clc at uuschenectady.org.

If you would like to recommend a novel, poetry collection, short story collection, or memoir by a Black, Indigenous, or Author of Color, please send your recommendation to Kat Wolfram.
