Now ninety-two, Anna Madrigal, the transgender landlady of 28
Barbary Lane, has seemingly found peace with her "logical family"
in San Francisco: her devoted young caretaker, Jake Greenleaf; her
former tenant Brian Hawkins and his daughter, Shawna; and Michael
Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton, who have known and loved Anna for
nearly four decades.
But some members of Anna's family are hitting the road, bound
for Burning Man, the art community in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.
Anna herself has another Nevada destination in mind: a lonely
stretch of road outside of Winnemucca where the sixteen-year-old
boy she once was ran away from the whorehouse he called home. She
journeys into the dusty, troubled heart of her Depression-era
childhood to unearth a lifetime of secrets and dreams, and to
attend to unfinished business she has long avoided.
The Days of Anna Madrigal is the triumphant resolution to a saga
of urban family life that has enchanted and enlightened readers
around the world since 1976.
