We owe to Armistead Maupin a real literary phenomenon. Creator of a gallery of terribly endearing characters, the American writer has a sense of exceptional story. Since the publication of the first volume of the saga in 1978, the author of Chronicles of San Francisco A colossal readership has been built around the world.
Tenth volume of this saga, Mona and her mansion led us in the 1990s to the heart of the English campaign, more precisely in Easley House, a manor of which Mona inherited from Lord Roughton, a man with whom she agreed to marry so that he obtains her green card and redo her life in San Francisco. Converted into a guest house as charming as it is dilapidated, the manor is the scene of a suite of touching, funny, but also disturbing adventures, since Maupin cannot help in breathing in his story by committing, here as elsewhere, on the side of the police comedy.
A moving, funny book with pages that devour. You cannot recommend you too much to make a traveling companion.
