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.
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.
