Last Night at the Telegraph Club

I have so much to say - I loved this book. I bought it in 2021, but until now, I had never read past the first few chapters. My only regret is that I hadn't read it sooner. It was a quick and easy read despite its size. I, personally, have never felt so represented by a piece of media as a queer Chinese-American woman. In the Author's Note, Malinda talks about the research she did and explains why she chose certain Chinese verbiage over others, and it all just makes sense. It feels like this book was written with love. It is apparent that there was a real effort to represent queerness and Chinese culture during World War II with dignity, while acknowledging the harsh reality of the time. I would highly recommend.
