Historia
Elise Sontag is a typical Iowa 14-year-old in 1943 - aware of the war but distanced from its reach. Then her father, a legal US resident for nearly two decades, is suddenly arrested on suspicion of being a Nazi sympathizer. The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity. The only thing that makes the camp bearable is meeting fellow internee Mariko Inoue, a Japanese-American teen from Los Angeles.

Historia
It’s the summer of 2019, and Professor Pi Suleman is a Black man from Memphis with a lot to endure - not only as a Black man in Trump’s America but in his hard-earned career as an adjunct professor. Pi is constantly forced to bite his tongue in the face of one of his tenured colleague’s prejudices and microaggressions. At the same time, he’s being blackmailed by a powerful professor who threatens to claim he has assaulted her, when in fact the truth is just the opposite, trapping him in a he-said-she-said with a white woman that, in this society, Pi knows he will never win.

Resumen del Editor
Meet Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean in the New York Times best-selling novel....
Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat is home away from home for this inseparable Plainview, Indiana, trio. Dubbed "The Supremes" by high school pals in the tumultuous 1960s, they weather life’s storms together for the next four decades. Now, during their most challenging year yet, dutiful, proud, and talented Clarice must struggle to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband’s humiliating infidelities. Beautiful, fragile Barbara Jean is rocked by the tragic reverberations of a youthful love affair. And fearless Odette engages in the most terrifying battle of her life while contending with the idea that she has inherited more than her broad frame from her notorious pot-smoking mother, Dora.
Through marriage, children, happiness, and the blues, these strong, funny women gather each Sunday at the same table at Earl’s diner for delicious food, juicy gossip, occasional tears, and uproarious banter.
With wit and love, style and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together four intertwined love stories, three devoted allies, and two sprightly earthbound spirits in a big-hearted debut novel that embraces the lives of people you will never forget.

But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother's apartment house, called and said her expenses would be paid if she'd fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have recommended this to several friends. In fact, I have several "friends since 1st grade" and the Supremes reminded me of how comforting it is to share an entire life with dear friends -- the high points and the low --- and how important the laughter becomes to close relationships. Moore did a great job of capturing the feelings of these three women.

Pleasantly surprised writer was a Man!
Funny, fast moving, something happening all the time & great characters! Not wild about the ghosts, but others in our book club liked them.

An enjoyable listen--
I had high hopes for this novel, and I listened to it shortly after release based on early hype. I did enjoy, however, for more than half the book, I was distracted by the fact that the narrator kept changing, and the narration kept jumping between first person and third. Things like that bother me when I don't see what the author is trying to accomplish.
But beyond that--the narration was excellent, and the story was enjoyable. I would not put it in the same class as The Help, as early buzz had, but it was a pleasant and entertaining listen.

What a surprise!
I never would have chosen to read this book based on the description, but my book club read it and I enjoyed it immensely. The narration was the best!

Excellent especially for a first novel
This story drew me in from the first few sentences, I felt as though I knew Odette and The Supremes and could empathize with many of their struggles. I also could see parallels to the lives of my black friends, especially those who grew up in the south. The story is not innovative but I found it deeply satisfying and heartfelt. Showing the deep connection friends have and how complex human behavior can be, in poignant and funny ways. It was a delightful experience overall and one I am sure I will repeat.

The best historic fiction since "The help"!
What made the experience of listening to The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat the most enjoyable?
Due to my reduced vision Irely on audiobooks. Since I love books I usually buy several audibooks a week. Since audiobooks is a costly experience I am picky when it comes to how I use my credit. I found this by looking at what was trending in fiction. Thank PeterI did! I love stories in which you get to know the characters in a way that makes the story easy to follow. Stories about daring to be different has always inspired me. Colored ladies are historically very brave so this said:" I am credit proof " and it really is worthy your credit. To me, it had a dash of Gilmore girls meets "The help" and Bridget Jones. It is structured so perfectly: Past and pressent becomes one and you are drawn in. It deals with gossip, cancer, God Ghost, finding yourself and much more. Once you begin to listen you enter their diner hence the Gilmore girls reference.
In this book you will discover how easy it can be to bound with fictional people. If you like "The help" Then you will most likely love this because of the strong stories and the differences which unites us. It spans over decades unlike "The help" making me closer to the characters.
What did you like best about this story?
The way simple conversations between bestfriends was authentic enough to make time stand still. Strong ladies are so inspiring!
Have you listened to any of Adenrele Ojo and Pamella D'Pella ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, this was a first. The way Odette was read annoyed me at first, because every sentence ended in the same tone. I grew to love it however since that voice managed to become Odette.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! It is rarely a book manage to take me in like this. Who can resist the story of a man carrying his sick friend to her tree? To discover he picked the wrong one? The humor within this sad story manage to turn what we could have seen as victims into victors. It is beyond great and no, I did not spoil the end because Odette might be born in a tree but she did not die there..,
Any additional comments?
The sad thing about this book? I did not want it to end. I love it and will "visit" my new friends by listening to it again and again.
