1. The Hearing Trumpet starts off as a light-heartedly humerous "batty old bag" kind of a story about a 92 year old woman, Marian Leatherby, and her rather unpleasant (or, at least, unsympathetic) family, who want to ship her off to a home for senile women, as they find her absent-minded wanderings something of an inconvenience and an embarrassment/5.

2. Surreal and splendidly unconventional, The Hearing Trumpet is an apocalyptic fairy-tale quest about an occult old ladies' home and the spry nonagenarian who ends up there. After coming into possession of a hearing trumpet, year-old Marian Leatherby discovers her son's plans to send her to a nursing home. But this is no ordinary place.

3. The Hearing Trumpet is one of those books that stays with you for a long time afterwards - in the best possible way! I quickly felt a lot of love and respect towards the protagonist, and this didn't diminish as I read. The story, the setting and the cast are a heady combination.

4. Leonora Carrington (), the distinguished British-born Surrealist painter who made her home in Mexico City, was also a writer of extraordinary imagination and charm, and The Hearing Trumpet is perhaps her best loved book. It tells the story of year-old Marian Leatherby, who is given the gift of a hearing trumpet only to discover that her family has been plotting to have her.
