Sinossi
Lily Hu ha diciassette anni e non ricorda esattamente quando sia nata in lei 'la domanda'. Ma di sicuro la risposta l'ha trovata insieme a Kathleen Miller sotto l'insegna al neon del Telegraph Club, un locale per lesbiche. L'America del 1954, però, non è un luogo sicuro per due ragazze che si amano, soprattutto a Chinatown. La paranoia del maccartismo investe tutti, soprattutto i cittadini cinesi americani come la famiglia di Lily: nonostante il padre si sia duramente guadagnato la cittadinanza negli Stati Uniti, infatti, il rischio della deportazione è ancora alto. Ma Lily e Kath sono disposte a rischiare tutto purché il loro amore fiorisca alla luce del giorno.

The cover of this book is absolutely stunning, but the actual story didn't have the same impact that the cover did. While I found the picture of life for a Chinese American girl in 1950s San Francisco fascinating, the story seemed to move at a snail like pace. I enjoyed Lily and Kath's relationship, Leggi tutto
Powiem szczerze- mało młodzieżowa ta młodzieżówka. Jest bardzo powolna, nieśpieszna i nie przynosi większych zaskoczeń. Uwielbiam książki z elementem wlw i ciągle mi ich mało. Jestem pod wrażeniem.
I understand how meaningful this will likely be for some people, but it bored me. I typically read my Kindle in bed, and I would find one of two things happening with this book: either it would immediately make me sleepy, so I wouldn't read much; or I would read for what felt like hours and notice t Leggi tutto
