'Lo's writing . . . shimmers with the thrills of youthful desire. A lovely, memorable novel' - Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet and The Night Watch.From the award winning author of Ash comes a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s.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.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful queer coming-of-age story, this time set against the backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage. Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha’s Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria’s parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother’s gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It’s the kind of summer that changes a life forever.And almost sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, A Scatter of Light also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath’s lives since 1955.

Lily Hu tiene 17 años y es la hija perfecta ante los ojos de los demás. Sin embargo, siente que hay algo diferente en ella: no recuerda cuándo comenzó ese deseo, lo único que sabe es que, aunque al principio le parecía extraño e incomprensible, conforme crecía fue floreciendo; y, cuando Kathleen Miller y ella caminaron debajo del anuncio de neón del Club del Telégrafo, todo se sintió posible.Desafortunadamente, Estados Unidos en 1954 no es un lugar seguro para que dos chicas se enamoren. Menos en un lugar como Chinatown, San Francisco, en donde el miedo a los comunistas acecha a todos, incluso a los chinoamericanos como Lily. Con múltiples amenazas a su alrededor, Lily y Kath lo arriesgarán todo con tal de que su amor pueda al fin ver la luz. La última noche en el Club del Telégrafo ha sido ganadora de múltiples premios: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD DE LITERATURA JUVENIL 2021 - PREMIO STONEWALL - PREMIO ASIÁTICO PACÍFICO AMERICANO POR LITERATURA -PREMIO MICHAEL L. PRINTZ - PREMIO WALTER DEAN MYERS - PREMIO JOHN AND PATRICIA BEATTY - PREMIO AL MEJOR LIBRO POR LA ASOCIACIÓN DE BIBLIOTECARIOS CHINOAMERICANOS - FINALISTA EN LA CATEGORÍA DE LITERATURA JUVENIL DEL PREMIO GOODREADS CHOICE.

"A twisty, dark psychological thriller that will leave you guessing til the very end."-Teen Vogue"[A] riveting read…"-NPRThe line between best friend and something more is a line always crossed in the dark. Jess Wong is Angie Redmond's best friend. And that's the most important thing, even if Angie can't see how Jess truly feels. Being the girl no one quite notices is OK with Jess anyway. If nobody notices her, she's free to watch everyone else. But when Angie begins to fall for Margot Adams, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can see it coming a mile away. Suddenly her powers of observation are more a curse than a gift. As Angie drags Jess further into Margot's circle, Jess discovers more than her friend's growing crush. Secrets and cruelty lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world of wealth and privilege, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie won't be able to handle the consequences. When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend. "It doesn't even matter that she probably doesn't understand how much she means to me. It's purer this way. She can take whatever she wants from me, whenever she wants it, because I'm her best friend." A Line in the Dark is a story of love, loyalty, and murder.★ "Mesmerizing."-Kirkus, starred review.

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.

Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people's survival hangs in the balance.

In the world of ASH, fairies are an older race of people who walk the line between life and death, reality and magic. As orphaned Ash grows up, a servant in her stepmother's home, she begans to realise that her beloved mother, Elinor, was very much in tune with these underworld folk, and that she herself has the power to see them too. Against the sheer misery of her stepmother's cruelty, greed and ambition in preparing her two charmless daughters for presentation at court, and hopefully royal or aristocratic marriage, Ash befriends one of these fairies - a mysterious, handsome man - who grants her wishes and restores hope to Ash's existence, even though she knows there will be a price to pay. But most important of all, she also meets Kaisa, a huntress employed by the king, and it is Kaisa who truly awakens Ash's desires for both love and self-respect ...ASH is a fairy tale about possibility and recognizing the opportunities for change. From the deepest grief comes the chance for transformation.
