I loved "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store." McBride is not just an excellent writer, he's a compelling storyteller. I thought the ending was beautiful. I also enjoyed "Oppenheimer" and was fascinated by all of it; my boyfriend said that it dragged for him in spots though. I haven't read Backman since my Book Club read "A Man Called Ove." I liked it OK but didn't love it, so it didn't make me want to read any more by him.

I liked "Anxious People" a lot more than "A Man Called Ove"—I think you will too!

Janet Goldenberg

Completely agree re: The Holdovers. And love the jazz insight re: Heaven & Earth. Have you seen American Fiction yet? We really enjoyed that- creative, smart, timely and great acting - and also laugh out loud funny at moments.

Glad you liked Anxious People as much as I did!
I liked A Man Called Ove but the movie with Tom Hanks (Otto, not Ove) is even better. But then of course it is, see: Tom Hanks.
Heaven and Earth sounds really interesting, so thanks for the review of that!
