Shirley J. Adult Fiction Lifelong Friends, Family, Church Members, Diners, Food, Tears of Sadness and Joy, Love
I love this book. It has everything. Humor, Betrayal, Heroes, Villains, Love, Hate, Ghosts, Preachers, Revivals, Strippers, Fortune Tellers, Family and Friends. The telling is so lovely it is like enjoying your favorite thing all the way through. It is beautiful and beautifully told. It is like relating the happenings of all your best friends with a few frenemies thrown in just to keep things interesting. There is injustice but there is also justice sometimes time and space helps it all come together. The ghosts are witty and lively, well dressed and sometimes drunk or high but always delightful. It is a coming of age story for 3 best friends (dubbed the Supremes), a circle of life and love that will make the reader feel a part of the community. It is a wonderful, excellent story and it continues in "The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues." Trust me, you will want to read it, too. : ) I recommend this one especially to lovers of soul, souls (ghosts), soul food (Earl's diner, home goings, weddings, holidays), and blessed soul music, to baby boomers and to all who remember their youth, their friends, who struggled and overcame adversity in its many guises. I think adults will appreciate this story in so many ways and teens and young adults will glean a deeper understanding of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. We were all young once. ; )
