About the product

Our Illumicrate Exclusive set of Last Night at the Telegraph Club and A Scatter of Light by Malinda Lo (@malindalo), in collaboration with Hodder Books.

Last night at the Telegraph Club is a Nominee for Readers’ Favorite Young Adult Fiction in 2021, a forbidden story of love and duty set in the heart of Chinatown, San Francisco, during the Red Scare. 1954 America is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, with the fear of deportation hovering over Lily’s father, Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day. 

A Scatter of Light is an accompanying standalone to Last night at the Telegraph Club, which offers us a glimpse into Lily and Kath’s lives almost sixty years later. Malinda Lo returns to San Francisco, Bay Area. Aria Tang West was looking forward to spending her summer on Martha’s Vineyard, however fresh out of college, her graduation party takes a turn for the worst, her parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother. Aria dreads that her summer is now ruined, but little does she know this is the kind of summer that changes everything for her.
