Lovely latest novel in the Tales of the City series that I felt like I grew up with. This one told with the past and present of matriarch to the wacky renters of her Barbary Lane home. Was great to hear her back story and how the next generation is moving forward. So much more fluidity in genders then when these books first came out. I remember the sex change surprise seemed so shocking at the time and now the world is so different.
