Beschreibung

<p><b>The fourth novel in the beloved</b> <b><i>Tales of the City</i></b> <b>series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga</b><b>.</b><br><br><b>'A consummate entertainer who has made a generation laugh.... It is Maupin's Dickensian gift to be able to render love convincingly'</b> Edmund White, Times Literary Supplement<br><i><b>____________________</b></i><br><br>When an ordinary househusband and his ambitious wife decide to start a family, they discover there's more to making a baby than meets the eye. Help arrives in the form of a grieving gay neighbour, a visiting monarch, and the dashing young lieutenant who defects from her yacht. Bittersweet and profoundly affecting, <i>Babycakes</i> was the first piece of fiction to acknowledge the arrival of AIDS.<br><br>Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in 1970s San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.</p>
