Another tremendous addition to historical fiction novels that are intriguing and page-turning. Lo writes a heart-melting romance between Lily and Kath but doesn't stop there. All aspects of Lily's identity are explored, examined, and influence each other: her career aspirations, her family, her culture, her neighborhood, and her emerging curiosity into a world outside her own. This is a fascinating presentation of intersectionality and it is highly recommended for fans of unexplored/suppressed history and queer fiction.
