Glorious by Bernice L. McFadden

4.0

I'm giving "Glorious" four stars because the writing is magnificent. McFadden is clearly a gifted writer. It's the story that I hate :) The characters are thoroughly developed and the plot is brilliant. Characters like Rain, Meredith Tomas, Jack, Marcus Garvey, and Shannon are so disgusting. Colin's descent, like Easter's father's is painful. The ruined life of Easter is traumatic. Ironically, there is no happy ending and there are no good times in "Glorious." But there's much to be learned and now I'm on a manhunt to find out who, during the Harlem Renaissance experienced the fall of Easter (or a similar fall). I look forward to reading future works by McFadden.
