An Instant New York Times Bestseller
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.

Wunderschön geschrieben!
Ich habe dieses Buch sehr gemocht. Die Art, wie die Autorin Dinge beschreibt und verwirklicht fand ich einfach nur toll. Ich kann nicht viel über das Buch sagen, man muss es euer gelesen, gefühlt haben. Die Charaktere fand ich schön, die Story manchmal etwas langatmig und verloren in Details aber doch auch immer so, dass es am Ende Sinn ergibt und ab und an hatte ich so mitgefühlt, dass ich Tränen in den Augen hatte.
»To not feel that yearning for her would be stranger than to feel it.«
'A Scatter of Light' is a capture of coming to terms with one's identity and experiencing first love. I was able to connect with the story and its characters. The whole book was a positive reading experience. I also loved getting to know more about Lily's and Kath's life after the ending of 'Last Night at the Telegraph Club'. Would definitely recommend!
