Trumpet by Jackie Kay
This book is excellent. It is fiction.
It follows the life of mainly Millie and Colman Joss Moody's wife and adopted son after Joss Moody's death. Mr. Moody was a man of color and a famous trumpet player who was born in Scotland but eventually moved to England. After his death it was found out that he was born female. Millie just wants to be left alone to grieve but the media is relentless. and Colman is furious because he didn't know this about his father. The book also has chapters that are in the voice of other a handful of other people. it is such a beautiful story. It had me falling in love, being smitten, being furious, frustrated and grieving.
