About this product
Product Information
Supremely humane.... Kay leaves us with a broad landscape of sweet tolerance and familial love. -- The New York Times Book Review In her starkly beautiful and wholly unexpected tale, Jackie Kay delves into the most intimate workings of the human heart and mind and offers a triumphant tale of loving deception and lasting devotion. The death of legendary jazz trumpeter Joss Moody exposes an extraordinary secret, one that enrages his adopted son, Colman, leading him to collude with a tabloid journalist. Besieged by the press, his widow Millie flees to a remote Scottish village, where she seeks solace in memories of their marriage. The reminiscences of those who knew Joss Moody render a moving portrait of a shared life founded on an intricate lie, one that preserved a rare, unconditional love.

WINNER OF THE 1998 GUARDIAN FICTION PRIZE "It has a humanity and sympathy which engaged me from start to finish. And its energy and directness made it a treat to read. . . . [ Trumpet makes] us see that people apparently very unlike ourselves are in fact very much like ourselves. . . . Love is not usually such a triumphant idea in modern writing, but I think Jackie Kay makes it believably and vividly so." -- Ian Jack, Granta "Kay spins a love story, a fairy tale, and a psychological thriller out of one deep secret. She has a great gift for delving inside sundry souls, making poetry of their quirks. At its best, her prose ripples like jazz and brims with exquisite insights." -- Andrea Ashworth, author of Once in a House on Fire "Jackie Kay makes the unbelievable gloriously real. For a first novel this is remarkably assured, full of melody and tension. Each character is given a singing part, bouncing notes and harmonies off each other as Joss's story is teasingly, movingly revealed. ... Trumpet is a love story and a lament, beautifully told." -- Eithne Farry, Time Out "A hypnotic story...about the walls between what is known and what is secret--. Spare, haunting, dreamlike."--- Time "Splendid...[Kay's] imaginative leaps in story and language will remind some readers of a masterful jazz solo."--- The San Francisco Chronicle, WINNER OF THE 1998 GUARDIAN FICTION PRIZE "It has a humanity and sympathy which engaged me from start to finish.
