The eighth novel in the belovedTales of the Cityseries, 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.

“Back in the city”

I've just finished Mary Ann in Autumn. Brilliant almost like a homecoming to Barbary Lane. Glad Mary Ann is no longer the bad guy & I'm glad she's back.
