'San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin' Independent
__________________

In this, the sixth and final self-contained volume of Armistead Maupin's epic chronicle of modern life, 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.

Wistful and compassionate yet subversively funny, Sure of You is a triumphant finale to one of the most addictively entertaining series of novels ever written.

Reviews

  • 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
