A review by infowitch
The Bell at Sealey Head by Patricia A. McKillip

5.0

I love Patrica McKillip. I suspect I would love her grocery list, really. So I may be writing from a point of bias, but this was marvelous. The mix of the mundane (a good cook, the trials of having your writing time constantly interrupted) balance perfectly the magic (doors that open into otherwheres, invisible beels that ring teh sun down). Her language is sumptuous, poetic, and delightfully expressive, laced throughout by a dry and subtle slant of humor and a strong sense of romance in the older sense of the word. Altogether a winner, plus that gorgeous cover!
