“Michael finds out that he is positive, but that doesn’t stop him from being lonely. He meets a tour guide from a visit to Alcatraz, Thack. The two of them go away with Brian, to a cabin in the redwoods. Brian is scared that he has AIDS, and can’t deal with Mary Ann’s advances until the test results come back, in 10 days. Mary Ann is consumed by being an anchor woman, and is outside herself when Entertainment Tonight comes to interview her. Her interview with a famous fat model doesn’t go well, at all. Wren Douglas, the fat and beautiful model, is propositioned by Frannie’s new husband Booter, to stay near the Bohemian Grove, an all male camp in the redwoods. DeDe and D’or are off to Wimminwood, an all women’s camp in the redwoods. This could be the thing to tear their relationship apart. How will the lives of these significant others survive in the latest installment of Armistead Maupin’s timeless series?”

“This was a quick, fun read. San Francisco in the 70s must have been wonderful.”

“This series is one of the best series I've ever read - Armistead Maupin does an amazing job of painting a picture of what the 1970's were like in San Francisco for gay men, straight women from Ohio and the elite. It's a series I've read probably 4 times over the years.”

Each book is pretty much self contained and can be read by itself even without prior knowledge of the series. "Significant" to me is the most coherent and most confident in its story telling. There is a common theme to all the story threads. I love how Maupin portrays the many ways that the concept of love and sharing between people - the many forms of love, dependencies and the different types of people. Old and young, straight and gay. All with a great sense of humour. Very funny in places. The bits with the Portaloo at the Festival was the most hilarious and realistic.”
