Description

The seventh volume in Armistead Maupin's widely acclaimed and much-loved Tales of the City series. The seventh novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga. 'Tender-hearted and frolicsome... A tale of long-lost friends and unrealised dreams, of fear and regret, of penance and redemption, and of the unshakeable sense that this world we love, this life we live, this drama on which we all play, does indeed go by much too fast' New York Times ____________________ Nearly two decades after ending his iconic Tales of the City saga of San Francisco life, Armistead Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero Michael Tolliver-the fifty-five-year-old sweet-spirited gardener and survivor of the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers-for a single day at once mundane and extraordinary... and filled with the everyday miracles of living. For almost four decades Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series has blazed its own trail through popular culture-from ground-breaking newspaper serials turned into ten classic novels, to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane dazzle in these sparkling, indelibly comedic portraits of an era that changed forever the way we live.
