"Jackie
Kay's novel, which is about Joss Moody, a jazz trumpeter who pretended
to be a man and even had a wife and a foster-child who called her Dad,
cleanly sidesteps prurience and pretentiousness. The story begins in the
aftermath of the famous trumpeter's death... [and] is told by different
characters in turn... This book is all about love... The qualities of
sympathy and tenderness in this novel make it special and make Kay a writer
to respect" - Katy Emck, GUARDIAN
