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.

Column Appertaining To Books Trumpet

I read this one pretty fast--it's a quick read in general, but you just don't want to stop. The writing style perfectly winds all these characters and their reactions together in a way that is so sympathetic and believable that it is hard to understand how this is fiction.The most important characters of this novel is, sadly, fictional--Joss Moody is a mixed-race Scottish jazz trumpet player who chose to live his life identifying as male, despite that fact that he was born female and lived much

"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." What makes up identity? Is it your family?You accent?Where you're born?Where you're raised?Is it what you do?Is it how you do it?Is it the clothes you wear?Is it your age?Is your gender? Is it who you fall in love with?Is it who you respect? Trumpet is a beautiful investigation into the question of how people derive a sense of identity under circumstances

Trumpet is the August pick for the Banging Book Club, an online, tweet-fuelled read of books about sex and sexuality hosted by Hannah Witton, Leena Norms, and Lucy Moon. This is a nice change of pace after a few months of non-fiction books. All of the fiction books so far have been excellent but in such different ways. The two previous novels (Asking For It and All the Rage) had similar topics but very different narrative and thematic approaches; each broke my heart, though. Trumpet is quite

This book is all about love.It is an absorbing type of book, but not a page turner. Reading it, is as if reading about real true feelings. One is overcome with tenderness towards the story, not some of the charakters. This book is truthfull to the last extent; but it tells the truth gently.The expressions, the descriptions, the short recollections. This story touches your heart. It doesnt grip it, possess you; but grow on you, become part of you from the very beginning.It will remain with you,

Thank fuck that's done. Not because it was bad - the opposite - because it was unrelenting, heart-breaking and brutal. Reading it's like being in a car crash, with you going through the windscreen in the first few chapters and the rest just the grind of the miles of asphalt against your face as you're carried forward by your own momentum. This book is about the revelation after his death that Joss Moody was a trans man, given the name at birth of Josephine Moore. The book focuses largely on the

This is one of the best books all year. And heartbreaking. And maybe not the best book to be reading right after I was diagnosed with cancer and life is so scary and uncertain. But then again, maybe it is the best book to be reading.

I was going through some old notebooks and I came across some passages from this book that I just wanted to share. Billy Tipton, who is the subject of this novel, was an incredible jazz musician who was not only trans but also not out to two of his three wives, nor to any of his long time band members, until after his death. There is a great biography of him called Suits Me: The Double Life of Billy Tipton by Diane Middlebrook, that really chronicles both his life and his music in a very nuanced
