When Lily realizes she has feelings for a girl in her math class, it threatens Lily's oldest friendships and even her father's citizenship status and eventually, Lily must decide if owning her truth is worth everything she has ever known. - Penguin Putnam
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND STONEWALL BOOK AWARD ⢠From acclaimed author Malinda Lo comes a gripping, tender coming-of-age novel exploring identity, queerness, and historical upheaval set in San Franciscoâs Chinatown during the 1950s.
âLush, ambitious and layered, Malinda Loâs sweeping historical novel is the queer romance weâve been waiting for.ââMs. Magazine
Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeling took rootâthat desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly, everything seemed possible.
But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her fatherâdespite his hard-won citizenshipâLily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
Meticulously researched, emotionally stirring, and startlingly brave, Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a standout work of historical fiction that has taken the world by storm.
