With Bastille Day coming up next week (the French call it La Fête Nationale), many people will be thinking about France... and about celebrating Bastille Day with delicious French cuisine!  Now is a good time to fill you in on exciting news about the French translation, Les Suprêmes, of Edward Kelsey Moore's debut novel, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat. Since its publication in April, the translation has been gaining popularity throughout the French-speaking world!  The publisher, Actes Sud, reports that the novel has already been reprinted not once, but twice, since it hit store shelves.  This is very exciting!  Les Suprêmes is available in both a beautiful paperback edition and also as an eBook.  Here are some review excerpts from the French media: 

"An energetic and cheerful cocktail, Les Suprêmes is carried from one end to the other by its trio of heroines. Strong and fragile women, bonded together to face difficulties... They were hard to leave."    — Journal du Dimanche

"As soon as you are immersed in this novel, the reader has only one desire: to make these three her best, new girlfriends! Formidable!"    — Le Pèlerin

"...brilliantly embraces all the inner feelings of the trio, which swirl, while recounting their eventful existence."    — Le Figaro

"We applaud with both hands the elegance, humor and tenderness of this first novel. This novel is above all a celebration of female friendship. These three are tough, intelligent and lucid women, irresistible survivors one is not likely to forget."    — Version Femina

"Struggling along, these three girls, nicknamed "The Supremes" in honor of the famous group of the 60s, engaged together in the whirlwind of life: marriage, children, love and betrayal, happiness and disappointment. The novel finds at each turn of their lives... suspense! It is as addictive as a television series, biting, but never mawkish...   A master stroke."    — Elle

"This chronicle of everyday life is full of bravura, reminiscent of the fantasy of John Irving. This trio entrances us with its "small music" of life. One finishes reading the novel out of breath... Then there is only one desire: to sit in a corner of the diner in Plainview, to await the arrival of the three Supremes, and be the first to discover more of their history."    — Les Echos
