Description
Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a gripping and tender coming-of-age novel set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s. It explores identity, queerness, and historical upheaval through the story of two girls who risk everything to be together. In a time of great danger and uncertainty, Lily and Kathleen's love becomes a beacon of hope. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. With deportation looming over Lily's father, the girls must navigate the complexities of their own desires and the world around them. Meticulously researched and emotionally stirring, this novel is a powerful exploration of love, identity, and the human spirit.
