The Bell in the Lake: The Sister Bells Trilogy Vol. 1, authored by Lars Mytting, is a captivating historical fiction novel that has earned the esteemed recognition of The Times Historical Fiction Book of the Month. This extraordinary tale weaves together a narrative of love, suspense, and the enduring struggle between tradition and progress.

Set against the frigid backdrop of 1880 in the isolated village of Butangen, Norway, this debut installment delves into the life of Astrid Hekne. A spirited woman with dreams as vast as the winter landscape, Astrid finds her world upended by the arrival of Pastor Kai Schweigaard, whose revolutionary ideas threaten to unravel the village's cherished customs.

As you immerse yourself in this poignant tale, you'll encounter:

  • Engaging Characters: Astrid's strong will drives her to confront her heritage and the allure of an uncertain future.
  • Atmospheric Setting: Experience the haunting beauty of a frozen landscape that echoes the community's internal conflicts.
  • Rich Historical Context: Explore intricate themes of superstition, love, and ambition, all woven into the fabric of 19th-century Norway.

With accolades from renowned authors such as MAJA LUNDE and JO NESBO, The Bell in the Lake offers an immersive reading experience filled with depth and emotional resonance. Translated by Deborah Dawkin, this novel invites readers to reflect on their own choices and the weight of tradition as the mystical bells begin to toll.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
