Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington follows 92-year-old Marian Leatherby as she uncovers her family’s plot to send her to a sinister care home, sparking a surrealist adventure she could have never imagined.
What Olga Says: “A wonderful, funny, yet profound novel told from the perspective of an elderly woman. It helped me craft my own narrator, Janina [in Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead].”
What They Say: “This book is so inspiring... I love its freedom, its humour and how it invents its own laws. What specifically do I take from her? Her wig” — Björk
