Always Happy Hour Summary

Always Happy Hour: Stories by Mary Miller

Mary Miller combines hard-edged prose and savage Southern charm. Claustrophobic and lonesome, acerbic and magnetic, the women in Always Happy Hour seek understanding in the most unlikely places-a dilapidated foster home where love is a liability and the empty corners of a dream home bought after a bitter divorce. Miller evokes the particular gritty comfort found in bad habits as hope turns to dust.

Always Happy Hour Reviews

...enjoyable... a meditation on the stories a person tells herself. -- The New York Times Book Review
...a tipsy glow surrounds [Miller's] Southern women as they [nurse] an inner ache they can't booze away. In lucid, vivid prose, Miller renders them alive to lust and, however improbably, to love. -- O, The Oprah Magazine
You tune into each of [Miller's] narrators as though you'd missed their first two sentences, and the tempo guilts you into full attention. You don't look away before the story ends, and it leaves you admiring how sparingly it's been told. -- The Telegraph
