Winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize, Trumpet by Jackie Kay is a
starkly beautiful modern classic about the lengths to which people will
go for love. It is a moving story of a shared life founded on an
intricate lie, of loving deception and lasting devotion, and of the
intimate workings of the human heart.
With an introduction by author Ali Smith.
When the love of your life dies, the problem is not that some part of
you dies too, which it does, but that some part of you is still alive.
The death of legendary jazz trumpeter Joss Moody exposes an
extraordinary secret. Unbeknown to all but his wife Millie, Joss was a
woman living as a man. The discovery is most devastating for their
adopted son, Colman, whose bewildered fury brings the press to the
doorstep and sends his grieving mother to the sanctuary of a remote
Scottish village.
