L'autunno di Mary Ann

Les suites récentes des fameuses Chroniques de San Francisco ou Tales of the City en VO n'ont malheureusement pas le charme des premiers volumes, même si c'est toujours sympathique de retrouver de vieilles connaissances, plus par nostalgie que par réel plaisir.

I received this in a Goodreads giveaway, so thanks, Goodreads!

I had not heard of the Tales of the City series before, let alone read them, but I'm so glad to have read this one! At times, I did feel a little out of the loop, but I can't blame that on anyone but myself for reading this one before its prequels. That aside, I really enjoyed this book. The characters are interesting and there is plenty of drama and action to keep the story moving. I had guessed parts of the ending, but I was still sort of blindsided by a lot of it, which is something I LOVE in a book.

If you already love Tales of the City, this is a great addition to the series (I've heard it stays very true to the rest of books). If you haven't, I think it's worth checking out. I'll probably try to read the rest of them (in order!) at some point.
