What is truth and what is really fiction
I am messing with an African proverb but it speaks for the latest publication from Jackie Kay
I told her that I didn’t like her book. I told her this because she has produced a story that fills the imagination and in my case followed me into my dreams. It made me miss my Dad and I didn’t like that.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jackie in performance might miss, as I did, the laughter of her voice.
This factual account is hard to read as it hurts the heart but the spirit of the woman is wonderfully strong throughout
You might still be able to hear Jackie reading extracts on the BBC website.
Don’t listen.
Buy the book.
Read it and then tell me if you can’t see the red dust that lies heavily between the pages
