       More Critical Praise for Bernice L. McFadden

       for The Warmest December

      “Riveting. The Warmest December 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

      “Ms. McFadden is one of those rare talents who can keep a reader enthralled regardless of the topic … This is a story that cuts across all race and social strata in its need to be told.”

       —Dallas Morning News

      “Bernice L. McFadden has proven that she knows how to tell a story with insight and clarity … McFadden’s prose is lyrical.”

       —USA Today

      “McFadden’s voice remains refreshingly free of clichés and it’s easy to admire her fearless way with metaphor.”

       —Washington Post

       for This Bitter Earth

      “This Bitter Earth tells a brutal tale of salvation and adds to it a satisfying subplot of revenge. McFadden’s sensuous prose and folk wisdom conjure a memorable character with complexity and grace.”

       —People

      “This Bitter Earth resonates with the mythic patterns of an epic poem, complete with lyrical language and an omniscient narrator.”

       —Houston Chronicle
