The Bells, Richard Harvell’s first novel rose to #213 (from #83,196) on Amazon sales rankings after an interview on the Diane Rehm Show

About a castrato in the 1700’s, the book garnered generally strong prepub reviews, with the exception of PW‘s, which calls it “overwrought.” LJ‘s Barbara Hoffert showed the most enthusiasm, calling it “wrenching and painfully triumphant.”
