Industry Reviews
"In 'Trumpet' first-time novelist Jackie Kay...tells a sad and tender story that just happens to be surrounded by surreal circumstances. She strips away the prurient gawking, forcing the reader to consider basic concepts of love and sex in new ways....Kay writes with quiet assurance, skipping back and forth both in time and among characters with the deftness of a knowing guide."
Salon - Mary Elizabeth Williams (03/10/1999)
"Kay carefully registers the technical difficulties of transgendered life (breast binding, marriage certificates death certificates) without sensationalizing them, and beautifully evokes both Millie's and Colman's grief. She leaves us with a broad landscape of sweet tolerance and family love wondering how it felt to be Joss Moody."
New York Times Book Review - Aoibheann Sweeney (06/14/1999)
"[T]he author's imaginative leaps in story and language will remind some readers of a masterful jazz solo. In the act of honoring her material, Jackie Kay has breathed such emotional fidelity into the lives of her characters that they almost always sings true."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Bart Schneider (03/28/1999)
