Lily and her new friend, Kathleen, begin to sneak out at night to the club, which hosts performances by Tommy Andrews, a woman who dresses and performs in a traditionally masculine style. But as she comes of age in the 1950s, her passion for rockets and space exploration is matched by her curiosity about the Telegraph Club in a neighboring part of the city her parents have asked her to avoid. In the book, teenager Lily Hu is fully immersed in the life and culture of San Francisco’s Chinatown, home to Chinese immigrant families like hers. MONTPELIER - Vermont Humanities announced that the Vermont Reads 2023 book is “Last Night at The Telegraph Club” by Malinda Lo, a story that weaves actual events - such as Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s visit to San Francisco in 1943 - into this narrative about a teenaged girl finding her true self.
