The ninth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.
'Wonderful. . . . As compulsively readable and endearing as all the previous novels have been' Booklist (starred review)
____________________
Now ninety-two, Mrs. Madrigal has seemingly found peace with her 'logical family' in San Francisco. Some members of that family are bound for the otherworldly landscape of Burning Man, the art community in Nevada's Black Rock Desert but Anna has another destination in mind: a lonely stretch of road outside of Winnemucca where the 16-year-old boy she once was ran away from the whorehouse he called home. There she journeys into the dusty troubled heart of her Depression childhood to unearth a lifetime of secrets and dreams and attend to some unfinished business she has long avoided.
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.
