The eighth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.
'Perhaps the most sublime piece of popular literature America has ever produced' Salon
____________________
A touching portrait of friendship, family, and fresh starts, the City by the Bay welcomes back Mary Ann Singleton, the beloved Tales of the City heroine who started it all. A new chapter begins in the lives of both Mary Ann and Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver when she returns to San Francisco to rejoin her oldest friend after years in New York City... the reunion that fans of Maupin's beloved Tales of the City series have been awaiting for years.
Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in a sexually-liberated San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.

Lovely return to form
There is hardly anything as nostalgic for me as the "Tales of the City" series, and this eighth novel reunites us with Mary Ann, Michael, Anna Madrigal and DeDe, while also bringing up surprising connections to the first novel. Armistead Maupin still has it! Which is a relief, since "Michael Tolliver Lives", the preceding novel that restarted the series, was not as great as it could have been, mostly because of it's first-person marathon that focused on Michael alone. It did give us Ben, Jake and adult Shawna though, characters who also get their decent amounts of spotlight here. One of the interesting aspects is how much I sympathize with Shawna's feeling of abandonment on the part of Mary Ann, which was my exact sentiment at the end of "Sure of you", but Mary Ann does get her fair share of development as well. Regarding what could be called the central mystery of the book: There are several strands that are easily picked up, but there is the occasional shocker that Maupin serves with gusto, and they are delightfully devastating for long-time fans of the series.
