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.

Wonderful

I love this book it's so moving so alive can't wait to listen to more

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 :)

Just Wonderful!

What a great way to revisit these old stories I love so much! And Cynthia's performance is absolutely flawless! Love!

Ms M is the best

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

Any additional comments?

Love the series am thinking that the 3rd part is next on my list

Delightful!

I like the depth of the characters and the exciting storyline. I love hearing about San Francisco.

Great Read

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.

Great Story

Loved the story, but it was literally someone reading me a story. No real difference between characters. You can’t win them all

Fun and Frivolous Fantasy

More Tales of the City has the same great narrator as the first book of the series. It's light, funny, colorful and heartwarming-- a good antidote to and respite from the serious realities of life. Since I am conservative culturally and politically, I was amazed at finding them entertaining, rather than offensive.
