Trumpet Free Audiobook Download by Jackie Kay

Trumpet is an entrancing, unforgettable story about a young girl trying to find her way in London's East End during the early years of the 20th century.

"Jackie Kay has written a novel in the form of a memoir, which is very effective in capturing the essence of what it means to be human." "As a reader I loved her voice and her current-day take on Ovid's Metamorphoses."

A trumpet is an instrument that has its own unique sound, but in this audiobook, the reader's voice is subtly woven into the story. The listener can almost believe that they are there with the characters on their journey and ultimately, it adds a lot to the story for those who enjoy audio books.

The narrator, Cathleen McCarron, brings a sense of humor and soul to the book. Hearing her voice makes it easier for the listener to get lost in Kay's words that are scattered throughout this beautifully written collection of poems.

In this poem, Jackie Kay celebrates the beauty of music and its power to stand up against oppression.

'Cathleen Mccarron has a talent for painting life as it is, with humor and compassion' The Trumpet is a brilliant book; on the one hand fantastical, in its Dickensian landscape of Victorian slums, chimney sweeps and orphanages; on the other deeply realistic in the flawed human characters Kay captures.
