Critics Review
Praise for Where the False Gods Dwell
“With her sparkling voice and keen eye for detail, Denny S. Bryce consistently delivers a beautiful, gripping story. Readers will be transfixed by her gift for bringing the past light and making them feel they’re part of the story.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author
“Where the False Gods Dwell proves once again that Bryce is a definitive force in Historical Fiction….Beautifully written, thoroughly researched, and driven by a heart-pounding pace to the very end.” —Avery Cunningham, author of The Mayor of Maxwell Street
“Full of heartache and hope, this beautifully told story is as rich in historical texture as it is in sensory detail, and a reminder of the courage it takes to face both the storms within and those that rage beyond.” —Rhonda McKnight, author of The Thing About Home and Bitter and Sweet
“Takes us from the glittering ballrooms of Chicago’s 1930’s Black Elite to the steaming, fraught sugarcane fields of Jamaica….Where the False Gods Dwell is by turns gritty and dark; romantic and lighthearted….A glimpse into a window of history, previously lost in the shadows.” —Rita Woods, author of The Edge of Yesterday
