Book Reviews of The Bell at Sealey Head
Book Review: A Dreamy Fairytale
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read a lot of Patricia McKillip's books and she is one of my favorite authors. This book, like all the rest, is beautifully written in elegant language. There is subtle humor, no objectionable content, also like her other books. An aging manor on Sealey Head, a fishing village that could be anywhere, in the century before combustion engines, has a secret life. A maid in the manor and a select few other people, have glimpses into this secret. A bell rings on Sealey Head every evening at sundown, but the bell is not visible to anyone. There is a secret magic to the bell that forms the storyline. There are also a few touching love stories that weave thru the story, and of course, a villain. One of the charactors is writing stories about the bell throughout the book. It is a fairy tale, and a good one, but not my favorite McKillip book. Still, I recommend it to those who enjoy a dreamy fairy tale to transport them to a different realm for a while.
