Winner of the National Book AwardA New York Times Bestseller"The queer romance we’ve been waiting for.”—Ms. MagazineSeventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeli ng took root—that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown.
