About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Mona is the eccentric Lady of Easley House, running a bed and breakfast to keep her inherited English manor afloat.

Wilfred is Mona's 26-year-old adopted son who spends his weekends in London, looking for love in the gay bars of Soho while pining after his pen pal, Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver.

The current guest of the manor is Rhonda, a straight-laced southern belle who has left her abusive husband and has no idea what to do next, especially in the company of the free-spirited Mona and Wilfred.

Mona of the Manor, the tenth self-contained Tales of the City chronicles, is a sharply witty comedy about identity, assumptions and finding a logical family in 1980s Thatcherite Britain.

The only issue I have is the repeated error of the narrator mucking up the name “Poppy” & using “Polly”, often in the same paragraph, when referring to the post mistress character.

Another wonderful piece of the TOTC jigsaw 💜
