Product Description

Product Description
"Significant Others", the fifth self-contained chronicle in the "Tales of the City" saga, is a cunningly observed class comedy that's sure to be relished by the cognoscenti and by new readers alike. A holiday in the redwoods goes uproariously awry when the opposing sexes camp out rather too close to each other for comfort. Among those entangled in the mayhem are DeDe Halcyon, reformed debutante, troubled house-husband Brian Hawkins, and the irrepressible Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver (arguably Maupin's most beloved creation).

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent fifth installment to the Barbary Lane saga., 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Significant Others (Paperback)
The series goes on in leaps and bounds. The Tales of...series are one of the few sets of books to make me laugh and cry-usually within the same chapter. The usual characters that I have come to love are all there,finding new loves and facing the dark spector of AIDS. Classy writing. I'm looking forward to starting Sure Of You, just dreading finishing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this now., 2 April 2001
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Armistead Maupin is one of the greatest living authors of this century. The pinnacle of his achievement is the Tales of the City series of which this is the fourth. It is wonderful in every way. Great characters, totally stylish, witty, moving, political, sexually liberated and enormous fun. By the time you have read this far you will love all the characters to death and there are some great nail biting scenes based on the cult figure of Jim Jones. Just buy it, buy them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars A genuine drama, fiction with a bing hint of humour., 21 April 2009
By J. Guillamat (Montpellier, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The fifth chronicle in the Tale of the City saga is still captiving all. New characters and old one move around this new intrigue.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best book in the series!
I have read all of Maupin's books and I think that every single one of them is brilliant. However if I had to pick a favourite it would definitely be 'Significant Others'. Read more
