Publisher's Synopsis
The Miracle of the Bells is a novel by Russell Janney that tells the story of Olga Treskovna, a young actress who dies while filming a movie in a small Pennsylvania town. Her last wish is to have the church bells of the town ring for her for three consecutive days. The request is initially denied by the town's corrupt mayor, but through the persistence of Olga's friend, Father Paul, and the power of the media, the bells eventually ring and a miracle occurs. The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the power of the human spirit. It was first published in 1946 and has since been adapted into a film and a radio play.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
