Patricia A. McKillip (Les Fantômes d’Ombria) vient de sortir un nouveau roman en anglais : The Bell at Sealey Head.

Voici comment elle le décrit dans un article sur sci-fi wire
World Fantasy Award-winning author Patricia A. McKillip told SCI FI Wire that her latest novel, The Bell at Sealey Head, is a bit like the British drama Upstairs, Downstairs crossed with a Jane Austen novel ... with magic.

"A stranger comes to town--a young, rather wealthy scholar--whose desire to stay for an indefinite time in a local inn atop a cliff saves [a] young innkeeper from financial disaster," McKillip said. "The scholar is quite interested both in magic and in legends about the strange bell that rings daily just at the moment when the sun vanishes into the sea."

The townspeople think the bell is the ghostly echo of the bell of a ship that foundered off the coast centuries before. "To the innkeeper's surprise, the scholar's suspicions about it lead him to the moldering mansion overlooking the town, Aislinn House," McKillip said.
