Mary Ann in Autumn by Armistead Maupin
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.The cultural references are still fresh.. The characters still compelling * Independent on Sunday *
The kind of writer who doesn't have readers so much as devotees... Maupin at his rapturous best * Guardian *
Like slipping into a warm, scented bath. Maupin's back, with an eighth instalment of his lovely Tales of the City series... Lie back and enjoy * The Times *
Those who loved the last book will rejoice in the fact that Maupin hasn't finished with these much-loved characters yet. More please * Time Out *
