Search - Sure of You

I have read all of his books and I really enjoy them. He brings the characters to life and you feel that you are there with them.

In this final Tales of the City novel from Armistead Maupin. Mary Ann Singleton is married to Brian who had lived up on the roof at Mrs. Madrigals. They have an adoptive daughter Shawna who was Connie's child, Mary Ann's friend Connie was also from Cleveland, if you saw the original series on Showtime. Connie had moved to San Fransisco first and when Mary Ann came out to San Fransisco, she stayed with Connie for a couple of days before finding the apartment on Barbary Lane. Connie died a few days after her daughter was born and had left a note asking Brian and Mary Ann to raise her. Michael (aka Mouse) has a new lover, Jon has died of AIDS and Mouse is HIV positive. Brian and Michael run a nursery and Mary Ann is the host of a local talk show. In this, New York has come calling in the form of Mary Ann's ex-lover Burke, Burke is a producer and wants Mary Ann to do her show in New York. Mrs. Madrigal is still around, passing out joints at her gatherings, she and Mona take a trip to the island of Lesbos and of course Mrs Madrigal finds a man there. Maupin is in fine form here as we say goodbye to old friends. All good things must come to an end.

Entertaining. Fun characters.
