ApparentParadox reviewed Mona of the Manor by Armistead Maupin
Much like his other books, with one exception
3 stars
This is very similar to his other "Tales of the City" books. If you read those, then you have an idea of what this one will be like.
The one problem I had with this book is that it is written about the past. With the other books, he was basically describing "current events" and the people were all aging along with the books. This is a throw-back to a previous time, and so it felt a bit strange in that way. Not really so different for those who are coming fresh to the books (because for them, they are all in the past), but for people who have read the books as they were released, it just feels a bit odd.
