About the Author:
Patricia A. McKillip is a winner of the World Fantasy Award, and the author of many fantasy novels, including The Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy, Stepping from the Shadows, and The Cygnet and the Firebird. She lives in Oregon.
From Booklist:
McKillip’s latest is an elegantly written alternate-worlds tale set in Sealey Head, a small ocean-side town that exists in two worlds, in both of which a bell peals as the sun sets. The magnificent Aislinn House is the focal point, a domicile whose doors sometimes open to rooms in a castle in which the young princess Ysabo is among the females sworn to carry out rigid, unexplainable rituals to keep the world from coming to an end. This-world events are having a devastating effect on the other Sealey Head. While carrying out her duties, Emma, housemaid at Aislinn House, frequently finds herself peering into the other world. She comes to know Ysabo, but neither can cross into the other’s world. Meanwhile, the bell has haunted Gwyneth as long as she can remember, and she writes stories that look at possible explanations for the mystery of the bell, which no one can see. McKillip’s knack for vividly portrayed characters and fairy-tale ambience is evident in a story that includes some appealing romance and humor. --Sally Estes
