[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this book so much. I can’t remember all the plot points, but: 1) I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator is fantastic and made the characters come alive (he also read James). I would probably be in the camp that found the book jumbled/confusing if I’d read the book. 2) I read this not long after reading Color of Water, his memoir of growing up Black with a white Jewish mother. The memoir really added to the nuances relationships he explores in Heaven and Earth. I can see why people don’t like it, but for me it was a win.[/quote] I read Color of Water after this book and felt like if I'd done the reverse I would have had more of an appreciation for Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. I saw him at the National Book Festival this year and he was such a great speaker that I liked the book more after hearing him speak.[/quote]
