Trumpet

Product details

Between the duality of life and death, secrecy and openness, Scottish novelist Jackie Kay delves into everything that constitutes the fossils of the human heart and mind in her novel "Trumpet".

Amid all these questions and turmoil, which make an adopted son chase after his father's scandalous secret, the deceased's widow flee to a remote Scottish island, and everyone who knew him try to piece together a life for him, like arranging puzzle pieces, Jackie Kay presents us with a tale of deception and loyalty in a life built on a lie, yet one that maintained a rare, unconditional love.

Jackie Kay's novel Trumpet won the Guardian Award in 1998 and was recently published in Arabic by Meskelliani Publishing House in Tunisia, translated by Imad Al-Ahmad.
