Books like The bell tower by Sarah Rayne


When Nell West expands her antiques shop in Oxford, she stumbles upon ancient plasterwork bearing a startled warning from 1850, naming a mysterious Thaisa. The discovery ties the shop’s history to a forgotten Dorset village, home to an old bell tower and the local legend of Thaisa’s Song. The sea slowly erodes the derelict tower, yet the Glaum Bell remains in its lonely chamber. Though it was silenced during the reign of Henry VIII after a brutal act, whispers say its chime can still be heard in the mist.
