This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I learned a lot about Chinese-American culture (specifically in the 1940s and 50s). I also learned a lot about lesbians and the queer community during that time. I love that
Lily and Kath end up back together after being separated for a year.
Please read the author’s note at the end of the book, as it helps explain the author’s research for this book.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club
4.5/5

- beautiful book. just absolutely gorgeous
- i feel like i may have liked it a little bit more and rated it 5 stars if i wasn't in a huge reading slump
- was it a little slow for my taste? yeah. was it still good? absolutely. would i recommend this as a fantastic queer novel? 100%
- i'm gonna need a story like 50 years in the future where they are living together in a world that is more welcoming to queer people
