"Como sempre, havia alguns casais - homens e mulheres - sentados perto do palco, as mulheres algures entre o fascinadas e o envergonhadas, os homens com os seus sorrisos conhecedores. Lily perguntou-se o que pensavam saber. Tinha quase a certeza de que estavam errados."
"Não conseguia explicar porque razão reunira aquelas fotografias, mas sentia-o no seu âmago: uma necessidade de ardente e inquietante de olhar - e, ao olhar, de compreender algo."
“Sentia-se como se tivesse finalmente decifrado a última parte de um código que a inquietava há tanto tempo que mal se lembrava de quando começara a decifrá-lo. Sentia-se extasiada.”
“Tinha medo de ser descoberta, e medo de se descobrir a si própria, mas quanto mais se beijavam, menos medo tinha, até que o medo deu origem a sentimentos muito mais poderosos.”
"A América tinha-lhe dado tanto nos quatro anos que lá estivera, mas fazia questão de lhe recordar constantemente a forma como via pessoas como ela."

Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a coming of age novel surrounding a Chinese American child of an immigrant, living in 1950s San Francisco, who realizes she is attracted to women and that there are many others like her. With McCarthyism brings both The Red Scare and the Lavender Scare to a time where racist and homophobic sentiments were already through the roof. Lily and her family and friend’s experiences portray very multifaceted and underrepresented stories in a way that readers can easily follow and become connected to the characters.
