Tales of the City
Mary Ann Singleton is an
innocent young woman from Cleveland who spontaneously decides to move
to San Francisco. Her new life in the city is full of adventures and
zillions of interlinked stories. As she meets new people, the reader
dives deeper into their lives as well as hers. Anna Madrigal is her
elderly pot-smoking landlady of 28 Barbary Lane. Living in the same
building, Michael Tolliver is the lonely homosexual who moves in with
his old bisexual friend Mona Ramsey. The Grande Dame of Hillsborough,
Frannie Halcyon, finds that her perfect life is falling apart in surprising
ways. Tales of the City is a series of comedic glimpses into the lives
of San Franciscans in the seventies.
