Now, with her adopted son, Wilfred, Mona has opened Easley’s doors to paying guests to keep her inherited English manor afloat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs they welcome a married American couple to Easley, Mona and Wilfred discover their new guests’ terrible secret. Instead of focussing on the imminent arrival of old friend Michael Tolliver and matriarch Anna Madrigal, Mona will need to use her considerable charm, willpower and wiles to set things right before Easley’s historic Midsummer ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in 1980s San Francisco and beyond. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 444g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 243 x 163 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780857527073\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armistead Maupin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45336869470458,"sku":"9780857527073","price":14.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1710164079533_book.jpg?v=1710326352","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mona-of-the-manor-9780857527073","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
