Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I lovelovelove this line in your review of "Here Comes Frankie": -Frankie’s trumpet playing is rather magical - not only does it sound wonderful, but it also fills his house and his street with colours and smells ... and thereby transforms his neighbourhood from one where “even the birds had lost their chirp” to one where Frankie, his parents and neighbours end up dancing “to the sound of sunshine”.- Have you read Pseudonymous Bosch's YA books yet? I believe that the entire concept is predicated upon synaesthesia - it has been a year ago since I've read the first two books, so some of the details are quite vague to me now, but each book focuses on each of our senses. You should definitely check it out. Thanks so much Zoe! Oh this such a beautifully rich post Zoe. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
