"What would you risk for the truth? Growing up in San Francisco’s Chinatown in the 1950s, all Chinese American Lily Hu can see is what’s expected of her from her family and friends. But her views are challenged when she falls in love with a white girl who makes her question everything about the life she thought she was supposed to lead. Danger, racism and homophobia, overt and otherwise, strike from all sides in this nuanced and thrilling page-turner. Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a novel for anyone who has ever dared to wonder “what if?”"
