McFadden Collection features four novels from the three-time Hurston\/Wright Legacy Award finalis \"McFadden works a kind of miracle--not only do her characters retain their appealing humanity; their story eclipses the bonds of history to offer continuous surprises.\" --New York Times, on Gathering of Waters \"Riveting...so nicely avoids the sentimentality that swirls around the subject matter. I am as impressed by its structural strength as by the searing and expertly imagined scenes.\" --Toni Morrison, on The Warmest December \"McFadden's lively and loving rendering of New York hews closely to the jazz-inflected city of myth....McFadden has a wonderful ear for dialogue, and her entertaining prose equally accommodates humor and pathos.\" --New York Times, on Glorious \"An engrossing multigenerational saga...With her deep engagement in the material and her brisk but lyrical prose, McFadden creates a poignant epic of resiliency, bringing Sherry to a well-earned awareness of her place atop the shoulders of her ancestors, those who survived so that she might one day, too.\" --Publishers Weekly, on Nowhere Is a PlaceThe Bernice L.
