The novel begins in the bourgeois comfort of a residential corner of a Mexican city and ends with a man-made apocalypse that promises to usher in the earth's rebirth. In between we are swept off to a most curious old-age home run by a self-improvement cult and drawn several centuries back in time with a cross-dressing Abbess who is on a quest to restore the Holy Grail to its rightful owner, the Goddess Venus. Guiding us is one of the most unexpected heroines in twentieth-century literature, a nonagenarian vegetarian named Marian Leatherby, who, as Olga Tokarczuk writes in her afterword, is \"hard of hearing\" but \"full of life.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leonora Carrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/5\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.2\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.7\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781681374642\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535927255344,"sku":"9781681374642","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781681374642.jpg?v=1774992082","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-hearing-trumpet-leonora-carrington-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
