Synopsis:
The first novel in Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City series, set in San Francisco and centered on the residents of 28 Barbary Lane.
The story follows newcomer Mary Ann Singleton as she becomes entangled with an eccentric, interconnected group of friends and neighbors—led by the enigmatic landlady Anna Madrigal—moving through romance, friendship, sexual discovery, and city life in the 1970s.
Originally born from Maupin’s newspaper serial, the novel unfolds in episodic, fast-moving vignettes that blend humor, warmth, and drama while portraying the changing social and cultural landscape of San Francisco.
