  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;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. Caught in the middle is their longtime friend, a gay man whose own future is even more uncertain. Wistful and compassionate, yet subversively funny, &lt;I&gt;Sure of You&lt;/I&gt; could only come from Armistead Maupin.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a bit disappointed in this one to be honest with you, Mr. Maupin. For the last book in the series, it seemed to end with a whimper instead of a bang. Almost every major character was left in some sort of limbo, no resolution for anyone besides perhaps Mary Ann.

    <body><![CDATA[Dernier (ou plutôt avant-dernier épisode) des aventures des enfants de Mme Madrigal, ce livre mène les protagonistes à la veille des années 90. Tout le monde a vieilli, les aspirations ont changé, les amours aussi. On quitte les héros avec un petit pincement au coeur.
