About The Bells:

INDIE NEXT PICK, October, 2010

"The Bells does for the ears what Perfume did for the nose. A novel to engage the senses as well as tickle the mind."

—Sarah Dunant, international bestselling author of Sacred Hearts

"Harvell has fashioned an engrossing first novel ringing with sounds; a musical and literary treat."

—Booklist

"Wrenching and painfully triumphant.... A poignant and acutely told story of the human spirit; highly recommended."

—Library Journal

“For if we know perfect beauty, with our eyes and with our ears, even for a second, we'll come that tiny bit closer to being it ourselves.”
Richard Harvell, The Bells

“Love is not the mere opening of two souls' doors. Nor is it a palliative to the troubled heart; it is a stimulant. Under its influence, that heart grows until each tiny imperfection is not tiny.”
Richard Harvell

“God is beautiful. He's perfect. And he inspires us how good we could be. That's why we chant. That's why Moses sings. And that's why Staudach is building us a perfect church. For if we know perfect beauty, with our eyes and with our ears, even for a second, we'll come that tiny bit closer to being it ourselves.”
