Buster Midnights Cafe by Sandra
Dallas
Worth Rereading Many Times
May Anna Kovacks was discovered on the dustry streets of Butte,
Montana and went on to become a Hollywood star. War, fame, marriage,
love, and heartbreak came and went. What never changed was the bond
she shared with her two best friends, Effa Commander and Whippy Bird.
When scandal, murder, and betrayal made a legend of May Anna, only
Effa and Whippy Bird could set the record straight.
Personal Review: Buster Midnights Cafe by Sandra Dallas
I first read "Buster Midnight's Cafe" upon it's original release in 1990. I
loved the book then, and I loved it even more in 2008. The story of Effa
Commander and Whippy Bird sharing the plight of their lives in wild, wooly,
wicked Butte, MT in the early 30's is unforgettable. Poor children of
miners, they grow up with the appreciation for family, home, best friends,

pranks, dancing, and good brewsky. Though poor by some standards,
they are rich in spunk, vitality, acceptance, humility, and devotion.
May Anna Kovaks befriends Effa and Whippy Bird on a cold day in Butte.
Considered the most beautiful girl in town, May Anna has her sights set on
Hollywood. However, life's pitfalls alter her dreams for a stretch, but never
overtakes them. With assistance from Effa, Whippy Bird and Buster
Midnight(a famous fighter reared in the Butte saloons) May Anna's dream
comes to fruition. Her plume becomes Marion Street, a name the three
friends chose right off a neighborhood street sign. A masterful mystery is
weaved as Marion achieves her goals in Hollywood, while Effa and Whippy
meet their destinies in Butte.
Though the mystery is exciting, my affections are with the precisely
developed characters of these three women from a small coal town in
Montana. Historically accurate, their is no false ring to the setting and
time. Sandra Dallas is such a genius of this genre. To date I have read all
but her latest book; that is coming as I just adore Dallas's writing
techniques and soul felt characters.
Effa and Whippy Bird are so near and dear to me that each time I pass by
Butte, MT I want to turn off and find Buster Midnight's Cafe. Thanks to
Sandra I always can in my imagination.
