The second volume in Armistead Maupin's widely acclaimed and much-loved Tales of the City series.

The second novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.

Entertains, illuminates... A cultural touchstone that has enlarged our understanding of the varieties of human behavior - Washington Post

The tenants of 28 Barbary Lane have fled their cosy nest for adventures far afield. Mary Ann Singleton finds love at sea with a forgetful stranger, Mona Ramsey discovers her doppelgänger in a desert whorehouse, and Michael Tolliver bumps into his favourite gynaecologist in a Mexican bar. Meanwhile, their venerable landlady takes the biggest journey of all—without ever leaving home.

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 1970s San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.
