The third volume in Armistead Maupin's widely acclaimed and much-loved Tales of the City series.
The third novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.
'An enormously talented writer... By writing about what's seemingly different Armistead Maupin always manages to capture what's so hilariously painfully true for all of us' Amy Tan
The calamity-prone residents of 28 Barbary Lane are at it again in this deliciously dark novel of romance and betrayal. While Anna Madrigal imprisons an anchor-woman in her basement, Michael Tolliver looks for love at the National Gay Rodeo, DeDe Halcyon Day and Mary Ann Singleton track a charismatic psychopath across Alaska, and society columnist Prue Giroux loses her heart to a derelict living in a San Francisco park.
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 1970s San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.
