Description
xNEW 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 Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s.
"Lush, ambitious and layered, Malinda Lo's sweeping historical novel is the queer romance we've been waiting for."--Ms. Magazine
Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeling took root--that 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 father--despite his hard-won citizenship--Lily 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. Winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature - A Michael L. Printz Honor Book - A We Need Diverse Books Walter Dean Myers Honor Book - A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist - A Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Century
