Acerca de esta escucha

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 father - despite his hard-won citizenship - Lily 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved this story and the characters. Thought it was a very sweet and honest discovery of love for another person. Love is love. I found myself becoming very emotional at the end of the story and so glad that there was hope for the ability of these characters to continue to explore their relationship.

Very sweet and pure love story

I have attention issues that make reading and listening to fiction difficult but the story and the narrator were both so good that I couldn't stop listening and was eager to get back to it whenever I had to stop. This is a great queer coming of age story and queer bipoc and bipoc story. Could really help queer youth know they're normal and help non-queer youth know that lgbtq people are just like them.

could not stop listening

I am so glad I stumbled across this book…it is an amazing story…personally I knew of some of the struggles that the gay and lesbian community had to endure…but this book has given me a whole new appreciation of them… my hat is off to the author for this excellent book…

Simply excellent…

I loved reading about a queer Asian American in 1950s San Francisco. I did find the protagonist a little flat in that she didn’t speak much and was very closed off. I also would have liked to see more development between her and the other teenage girl she fell in love with. It was hard to understand how their connection was so deep based on the author’s portrayal of their interactions. Overall, however, I thought it was an excellent story and had a realistic-feeling portrayal of that time period and the struggles that Asian Americans and queer folk, especially lesbians, had to maneuver through. I just wanted a bit deeper character and relationship development.

Excellent historical perspective

This book has been recommended to me multiple times, and I finally got around to reading it. Let me just say, this was the best decision of my life! Malinda Lo did a great job describing Lily’s (MC) world. I didn’t know much about 1950’s Chinatown, but Lo’s language was so vivid, I felt like I was transported to San Fransisco and sipping a martini at the Telegraph club with Tommy serenading me! Of course, I was drawn to this book because of the queer representation, but I stayed for the history! My favorite part was the timelines between chapters that gave the historical background. LGBTQIA+ history, especially the stories of queer POC is usually censored at school or completely ignored, so this book was really refreshing. I had a rollercoaster of emotions as Lily discovered her identity and developed her relationship with Cath. I had a indescribable connection to Lily because I’ve felt many of the feelings she had. The fear of coming out and the realization that your relationship with your family may never be the same. Lo did an amazing job developing Lily and Cath’s characters that I felt they were real. In addition, the narrator did a great job distinguishing the different characters voices so I knew who was talking. Each voice was unique and suited the characters personality. Overall, I would give this audiobook at 10/10! I will definitely be reading Lo’s other work.

AMAZING

I loved this book from start to finish. Yes it’s a coming of age story but the historical niche in the book made it such a cool get away. The narration was incredible one of the best I’ve hear so far. The narrator able to distinguish different people in the book was awesome. I just wish there was more of the MCs. Great book.

Get lost in Chinatown

I dislike slow-burns usually but this was great. The ending left me wanting more.

The soul crushing narrative

This was really well written and really allowed the reader to gain more insight about the protagonist and her experience living in San Francisco in the 50’s. The invitation into her family, the historical context of her experience as a first generation Chinese American woman and the loving touches about the city made the book feel important and intimate. The character development was also great. I definitely recommend this, particularly if you enjoy historical fiction.

Well worth the listen
