In this incredible story, Malinda Lo gives reference to an era not long past, and the lives of those that have been swept beneath the carpet of history. The descriptive narrative, reminiscent of other historical fiction I have read in the past and enjoyed, led me gently into its waters, before quickly amping up the drama. A book that broke me down almost as many times as it lifted me up. To do so, she’ll enlist the help of an unlikely friend and together they will go forth, unlocking the very secrets that the club has to offer them. To a young girl questioning her identity, the dark nights and lively shows beckon her, bringing with them perhaps the very answers she’s been looking for. In an era brimming with disruption and upheaval, the neon lights of a lesbian bar known as the Telegraph Club offer sanctuary to those in need of it. A historical fiction set in 1950's San Francisco, focusing on lesbian culture and the coming of age of a Chinese American? More of this please.
