I borrowed it from the library without realizing it is a YA title, but it is for older teens and held my interest. I felt the mother was a very interesting character when her story was told, but she became somewhat 2-dimensional after she had children. It was interesting to read about the time period and social currents in San Francisco. A rich, immersive, and achingly heartfelt novel that is superbly written and highly transportive. “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” is to be savored; there is so much depth and detail to it, and the characters and their stories just LEAP off the page and into life. I adored every moment of Lily’s story and will absolutely be rereading and recommending this book to others! I’m struck by the warmth and belonging Lo threads through Lily’s life, even as she explores the repression and marginalization of being a Chinese-American queer girl in the 1950s. If you’re looking for a book about queer joy, this is certainly not it - the world’s a little too real. That said, there is something familiar and gentle in the safe spaces that Lily finds, the girls who meet her and know her, the self-discovery she navigates. There is hope and wonder in the queer adulthoods she bumps up against. PrémiosDistinctionsNotable Lists

HTML:Acclaimed author of Ash Malinda Lo returns with her most personal and ambitious novel yet, a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s. "That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other." And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. 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. *This audiobook includes a PDF of the bibliography and acknowledgments from the book Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
