La Lily Hu, de disset anys, no recorda exactament quan va començar a preguntar-se qui era. Però la resposta floreix quan ella i Kathleen Miller caminen sota el rètol de neó intermitent dun club del barri xinès de San Francisco. Els Estats Units del 1954 no són un lloc segur perquè dues noies senamorin. La caça de bruixes maccarthista afecta tots els sospitosos de simpatitzar amb idees alliberadores. També els immigrants xinesos. Però malgrat lamenaça de deportació que planeja sobre el seu pare, la Lily i la Kath ho arrisquen tot per un amor que no volen amagar. Gr 9 Up—As Lily, a Chinese American teen living in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1950s, starts to think more seriously about her professional future, a friendship with white classmate Kathleen grows into romance. This novel about first love, sexuality, intersectionality, and self-actualization is meticulously researched and deeply felt. I liked this book. I borrowed it from the library without realizing it is a YA title, but it is for older teens and held my interest. I felt the mother was a very interesting character when her story was told, but she became somewhat 2-dimensional after she had children. It was interesting to read about the time period and social currents in San Francisco.
One of the areas in which the book shines is its characterization. The development of the characters of Lily and Kath is well-executed. The themes of love, identity, and resilience are interwoven throughout the entire book, and the story makes you feel connected to the characters and their struggles. The book also does a nice job of underlining the intersectionality of Lily’s identities as a lesbian and Chinese-American.... Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo

HTML:Acclaimed author of Ash Malinda Lo returns with her most personal and ambitious novel yet, a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s. "That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other." And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?" 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. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her fatherdespite his hard-won citizenshipLily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day. *This audiobook includes a PDF of the bibliography and acknowledgments from the book..
