Synopsis

"An extended love letter to a magical San Francisco."
-- "New York Times Book Review"

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. Caught in the middle is trheir longtime friend, a gay man whose own future nis even more uncertain. Wistful and compassionate, yet subversively funny, "Sure of You" could only come from Armistead Maupin.

"An old-fashioned pleasure...there's been nothing like it since the heyday of the serial novel 100 years ago...No matter what Maupin writes next, he can look back on the rare achievement of having built a little world and made it run."
-- "Voice Literary Supplement"

"I know I'm not the only one who was up until 2 in the morning with "Sure of You, " promising myself to stop after just one more chapter."
-- "New York Times Book Review"

"A quietly understated small masterpiece."
-- "USA Today"

About this title

Review:

"Like those of Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Armistead Maupin's novels have all appeared originally as serials...it is the strength of this approach, with its fantastic adventures and astonishingly contrived coincidences, that makes these novels charming and compelling" (Literary Review)

"A consummate entertainer...It is Maupin's Dickensian gift to be able to render love convincingly" (Times Literary Supplement)

"San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin" (Independent)

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

"Armistead Maupin's acclaim is richly deserved. He uses suspense, mystery and coincidence far more inventively than the more typical novelist" (Jonathan Coe Guardian)

Book Description:

The sixth volume in the acclaimed Tales of the City series.
