But when Lily and her classmate Kathleen Miller slip under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club, something in Lily cracks open, and she can't close it again. In the age of Red Scare paranoia, falling in love as two girls is dangerous. With deportation already threatening Lily's father despite his hard-won citizenship, every visit to the Telegraph Club is a risk and every moment with Kath is worth it.This book has won the National Book Award, the Stonewall Book Award, and the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, and it earns every one of them. It's the kind of story that reminds you how much courage it took, and still takes, to simply be who you are. Whether you're a history lover, a romance reader, or someone who just wants to feel something deeply for 300 pages, this one is not to be missed.✨ Sign up and read along with us, we'd love to have you there. ✨And don't forget, you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of Last Night at the Telegraph Club at Pride & Petals.
