The Blurb Of The Boy Who Saw in Colours
Before judgment, think of me first as a human. Before the labels, before the questions, think of me as your friend, or as yourself if you have to. See me first.
How many good deeds does one have to do before one is considered a saint? How many bad acts deem one irredeemable? Humans are more complicated than that – we complicate equations.
I think of the world differently than most.
I see in colours.
I see people in colours. I see memories in colours. I see you as a colour, too.
My name is Josef. I am twelve years old, and I’m an artist. I was stolen from my parents to attend one of the Führer’s elite schools. This is my story and the stories of everyone else I have ever met.
About:
– Two brothers.
– A doomed friendship.
– And quite a lot of swearing.
I learn about the colours, that the strong do not survive and your best chance of survival may be in a concentration camp.
What was it like to hear colours, see scents and taste sounds?
Come with me. I’ll show you.
If you feel like it.
It all started the day the world ended. December 1939.
The Boy Who Saw in Colours is also available at the following outlets.
- Paper and Hardback – Book Depository
- eBook – Barnes and Noble
The Boy Who Saw in Colours is a raw novel set amid the Nazi uprising. The tale is historical fiction and like no other about the life in Germany during World War 2. However the war is only a part of the tale, but not the story. The story is about the life of Josef , the protagonist, a 12 year old boy who dared to dream. The story is told through his eyes.
Although The Boy Who Saw in Colours is Historical Fiction, it’s not only for history fans. The book deals with the struggles of a family trying to stay intact during turmoil and the secret they are hiding. At the same time Josef is dealing with his own issues and suffers from Synesthesia. Giving this book universal appeal to all who appreciates a heart-filled story
I give The Boy Who Saw in Colours 4.75 stars. It is literally the best book I have read this year..
