“There are a number of novels that examine the relationships between Jews and African Americans, but few do so as expertly and elegantly as McBride’s.” So comments James Selesnick in his review here: JBC. https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/the-heaven-earth-grocery-store
“A murder mystery locked inside a Great American Novel . . . Charming, smart, heart-blistering, and heart-healing.” —Danez Smith, The New York Times Book Review
“We all need—we all deserve—this vibrant, love-affirming novel that bounds over any difference that claims to separate us.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post
