Synopsis
“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.

Un livre qui dès début m'a direct immergé dans un passé dont je n'étais pas instruit et malgré une partie plus lente dans le récit (partie 3 et 4), l'histoire est très bien construite, l'amour entre Lily et Kath est belle et représente très bien l'amour adolescent, le fameux premier amour. La dernière partie du livre est vraiment incroyable, je vous le conseille vivement !
l'histoire est vraiment immersive, et ça m'a fait du bien d lire un roman sans me prendre la tête, le personnage de Kath mériterait un peu plus de background mais j'ai pleuré à la fin donc c'état un bon livre (avec des lesbiennes)
