<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An award-winning novelist delivers her highly anticipated new historical novel set amidst the Harlem Renaissance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The seeming inevitability of cruel fate juxtaposes the triumph of the spirit in this remarkably rich and powerful novel, <i>Glorious</i>. Bernice McFadden's fully realized characters are complicated, imperfect beings, but if ever a character were worthy of love and honor, it is her Easter Bartlett. This very American story is fascinating; it is also heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and beautifully written.<br>--Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of <i>The Scenic Route</i><p>Riveting...I am as impressed by its structural strength as by the searing and expertly imagined scenes.<br>--Toni Morrison, on <i>The Warmest December</i><p><i>Glorious</i> is set against the backdrops of the Jim Crow South, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights era. Blending the truth of American history with the fruits of Bernice L. McFadden's rich imagination, this is the story of Easter Venetta Bartlett, a fictional Harlem Renaissance writer whose tumultuous path to success, ruin, and revival offers a candid portrait of the American experience in all its beauty and cruelty.<p><i>Glorious</i> is ultimately an audacious exploration into the nature of self-hatred, love, possession, ego, betrayal, and, finally, redemption.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The novel is so intense and sweeping at the same time. Some of the scenes were terrifying, and some were very comic in the irony of what your narrator was experiencing and what she was actually thinking. The word for a journey like this is picaresque, but the ever-impending tragedy makes that word not quite right for this book. <br>--Susan Straight, author of <i>A Million Nightingales</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bernice L. McFadden</b> is the author of six critically acclaimed novels, including the classic <i>Sugar</i> and <i>Nowhere Is a Place</i>, which was a <i>Washington Post</i> best fiction title for 2006.
