Modern Fiction Book of the Month – Jan 2022

A gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s. 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… A TikTok sensation.
