Description
The Hearing Trumpet, a surreal and fantastical novel, is a world away from the mundane reality of its protagonist's life. When 92-year-old Marian Leatherby is given an ornate hearing trumpet, she unwittingly uncovers a sinister plot to confine her to an institution.
As Marian navigates the twisted world of the retirement home, where buildings are shaped like igloos and birthday cakes, and residents are subjected to bizarre religious rituals, she begins to uncover a joyous and brilliantly surreal adventure. A mysterious book, penned by the enigmatic Abbess, sets Marian on a path that will change her life forever.
Written by the renowned Surrealist painter and writer Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet is a testament to the power of imagination and the human spirit. First published in France in 1974, this novel remains a deeply original and inspiring work of fantastic literature.
