In the age of Red-Scare paranoia, it is not safe for two girls to fall in love.Īuthor Background: Malinda Lo is the author of several bestselling and critically acclaimed YA books, including historical novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club (2021), and Lo’s debut novel, Ash (2019), a lesbian retelling of Cinderella, which was a finalist for the William C. And when Lily meets Kath and the two begin making secret nighttime visits to The Telegraph Club, a lesbian bar in nearby North Beach, the risks of being who she is become more real. But Lily is beginning to chafe against the restrictions of being a “good Chinese daughter” when her heart is telling her that she craves something different…something that she glimpses for the first time on the cover of a pulp novel called Strange Season about two women who fall in love. Plot Summary: Set in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the 1950s, Last Night at the Telegraph Club follows 17-year-old Lily Hu, a teen who loves outer space (she dreams of working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory just like her Aunt Judy) and her family and community. Reading Level/Interest Level: Grade 9-12 (Booklist).
