Description

San Francisco has always been a place where chosen family matters more than blood, and in this third installment of the iconic series, the residents of 28 Barbary Lane find their lives shifting in unexpected and profound ways. As the city breathes through the changing cultural tides of the eighties, the familiar faces we have come to love face new challenges that test their resilience and their hearts. This story balances sharp, observational humor with poignant moments of human connection, capturing the unique spirit of a community defined by its courage and its candor. Whether navigating the complexities of long-term partnership or finding grace in the face of sudden crisis, the characters remain as vibrant and authentic as ever. The narrative weaves together suspense and wit, proving that the bonds formed in the fog of the Bay Area are built to last. It is a masterful exploration of gay life, friendship, and the quiet triumphs of being true to oneself. For those who have followed the residents of the city from the beginning, this chapter offers a deeply satisfying return to a home that feels as welcoming as a long-awaited reunion. It is a heartfelt celebration of a life lived out loud.

Absolutely charming

The 3rd book and the series and it keeps getting better and better. This is page turner is full of suspense, fun, and loving characters. We can only want more and more. This series continues to make me fall in love with its story and characters. Not to mention the twists and turns and the comebacks and 28 Barbary Ln. And of course Mrs Madrigal.

LOVE the book-pissed at amazon!

I read the first three "Tales" books, but cannot continue with the rest of my Maupin series purchases, as book 4 ("Babycakes") is unavailable! I read these books when they first came out and fell in love with the author, his writing, characters, twists and turns. When I saw amazon had them (finally!), I purchased the whole set (or at least THOUGHT I did) only to find after reading the first three books that the 4th was missing! So YES, love the books, but this is my way of venting about how I don't like amazon for messing up my reading summer!

Complicated plot!

But a lot of fun and, of course, an amazing and wonderful conclusion. Made me anxious to read more of the series.
