Description
The ninth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, this book is a heartwarming and humorous exploration of love, family, and identity. Now ninety-two, Mrs. Madrigal has seemingly found peace with her 'logical family' in San Francisco, but she has another destination in mind - a lonely stretch of road outside of Winnemucca where her past and present collide.
As she journeys into the dusty, troubled heart of her Depression childhood, Mrs. Madrigal uncovers a lifetime of secrets and dreams, and attends to some unfinished business she has long avoided. With her usual wit and charm, Armistead 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. With its unique blend of humor, pathos, and insight, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
