À propos de cet audio

 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.

It was sweet, it was heart breaking, it was a beautiful book about first love and finding oneself.

Absolutely Amazing

History was cool. I especially liked the end where the author talks about her research.

we need more representation of these kinds of stories.

I appreciated the way the two main characters were believable 17-year-olds, not dumbed down.

Cool way to learn history

great road-trip listen. my partner and I were screaming at the book sometimes, in excitement and displeasure. great and fresh perspective of LGBT history from a minority group that I hadn't read from before.

intriguing listen

It was a relatively easy read. A queer romance that did an excellent job of including history.

I loved that at the end, the author explained some of the research she did for the book.

it's a book I can see myself reading again. Now it's time to to find a new book to live up to this one.

A book I'd read over and over.
