This novel delivers the kind of choral experience that I have savored in books as disparate as James McBride’s “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” and Elizabeth Strout’s “Olive Kitteridge.” Reading “Redwood Court” feels like wandering down a street, stopping to listen to different voices, for better and for worse.
