'I can't recommend this one highly enough ' HARLAN COBEN
'THIS is his best book' ANN PATCHETT

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, James McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community - heaven and earth - that sustain us.©2023 James McBride (P)2023 Penguin Random House Audio LLC Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Jewish Heritage Literary Fiction Small Town & Rural Inspiring Heartfelt Thought-Provoking

Complexity of interwoven stories. The voice droned a bit. Surprised to learn the pecking order of racism to
Include Jews next to blacks

The multitude of characters
