Stadtgeschichten

It's the seventies, the sun is shining, and like a ride on a roller coaster, Maupin races his readers through the streets of San Francisco at a breakneck pace. Mary Ann Singleton makes an atypically impulsive decision to move to San Francisco. She hardly misses the familiarity of Ohio amidst her exciting fresh start in sunny California, where a dazzling array of personalities compete for attention. She finds a home with the charismatic Anna Madrigal, who has a joint and a place in her colorful townhouse on Barbary Lane ready for every lost soul. The other residents help Mary Ann with her various challenges – the free spirit Mona, the womanizer Brian, and the charming Michael will also experience their own stories in the most vibrant city in America. One thing all the characters have in common: they are searching for true happiness.
