Product Description

Product Description

In this, the sixth and final self-contained volume of Armistead Maupin's epic chronicle of modern life, a fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco. Wistful and compassionate yet subversively funny, "Sure of You" is a triumphant finale to one of the most addictively entertaining series of novels ever written.

From the Back Cover

'The Tales of the City sequence has been one of the literary menus plaisirs of the last decade...Maupin, with all his elegance and charm, has found a place among the classics'
Jonathan Keates, Observer

In this, the sixth and final self-contained volume of Armistead Maupin's epic chronicle of modern life, a fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco.Wistful and compassionate yet subversively funny, Sure of You is a triumphant finale to one of the most addictively entertaining series of novels ever written.

'Maupin’s work is like a drug;: it’s easy, it’s fun and it leaves you greedy for more…superb’
Christina Thompson, The Australian

'I know I was not the only one who was up until two in the morning, promising myself to stop after just one more chapter'
David Feinberg, New York Times Book Review

‘Armistead Maupin’s acclaim is richly deserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the perfect round-off to a brilliant series, 10 April 2001
This book will have you in stitches and tears, often simultaneously. Maupin's portrayal of Brian and Mary-Ann is expert, and unbiassed in a way that let's the reader decide whose side he/she takes. The ending is very symbolic, and little Shawna is a delight. All round a brilliant read, especially for those who have followed the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a perfect, but an appropriate, conclusion, 10 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sure of You (Tales of the city) (Paperback)
I've just finished this after reading all 6 books in sequence with no breaks in between! I became fascinated by the lives of Mouse & Co and felt as if I was in a soap opera!...

It was interesting watching characters change, develop, meet people, dump them, grow up (or not), 'find themselves' as it were - much as in real life. I'm not sure what more could be done with the characters or the plot so perhaps it was fitting that it ended where it did. Nice to see almost all the original characters back in the conclusion, in one form or another!

On the whole, a brilliant series if a little too coincidental (but we have to suspend disbelief don't we - think Shakespeare?) I preferred the earlier '70s ones personally, but times change, as do we all, and life goes on.

I'll read them again!

4.0 out of 5 stars The final installment!, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sure of You (Tales of the city) (Paperback)
This is the sixth and final book in the Tales from... series. The characters have grown up a little, had some dreams shattered and move on to make their own next chunck of reality. In doing so they each take some relationships with them and leave some behind. As the readers who have loved them all in their own way, you want them to stay together forever and prolong the life of the world you have lived in. Change is hard, but nothing that is living stands still, it must move on.

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt depressed
HAving read through all the novels in the series, it depresses me to see that the characters are moving away from each other, breaking what was one, big happy family. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Sniff!
The last in the Tales of the City series, this book is a wonder and a tragedy all at once. I couldn't wait to read it and at the same time couldn't bear that it meant the end... Read more
