Publisher's summary

Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City

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

The tenants of 28 Barbary Lane have fled their cozy 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 favorite gynecologist in a Mexican bar. Meanwhile, their venerable landlady takes the biggest journey of all - without ever leaving home.

Beloved

I’ve loved reconnecting with these characters. The stories are just shy of soap opera but in a wonderful way.

So well read, it's like going to the theater!

What a treat to listen to Cynthia Nixon PERFORM all the parts, rather than just read them as so many narrators do! I lived in San Francisco when Tales of the City ran in the Chronicle each week so this is a walk down memory lane for me. I doubt it will resonate with a young reader (it's set in the 1970s and boy, have times changed) but the story is vivid, the characters quirky and appealing, and the reading, superb. This is light but very satisfying listening.

Still in love :)

This is an excellent first sequel to Tales of the City! The characters still have stories to tell, and I’m happy to be along for the ride! I love their interlocking stories and their secrets! Such rich stories! I’m glad to see there’s more to tell :)

the People are so intresting and almost like friends, u can speak to them in your mind when u are listening to the story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mrs M is fantastic, and I like Mona and her braind of crazy

What does Cynthia Nixon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she's fantastic and she really get's into the story telling.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the meeting between, mother Mucka and Mrs. M

Any additional comments?

Doesn't Disappoint

Superb performance and riveting to the end. The characters become your extended family, and you don't want to leave 28 Barbary Lane.

The story is great glimpse of gay
Life in 70’s San Francisco. Cynthia Nixon is great as the reader also. She’s very engaging.
