Book group 12th July: Jackie Kay - Trumpet
The next book group book will be 'Trumpet' by Jackie Kay.
Ali Smith says: "Funny and visceral, this story about marriage, family, death, loss, song and above all love, whose “scandalous revelation” is a cleansing, empowering and beautiful one, celebrates expansiveness and imaginative shapeshift. So far Trumpet is Jackie Kay’s only novel. I say “so far” in the knowledge that she’s working on another right now and I know this because we’re friends." (a fully unbiased review I'm sure). https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jan/16/rereading-trumpet-jackie-kay-ali-smith
We will meet in the White Lion on Stroud Green Road at 8pm on Wednesday 12th July.
New people always welcome, just turn up! We'll usually be sitting on a table at the back with the book visible.
