The Sea, The Sea is fantastic of course, but I actually started with The Bell and almost find myself preferring it. It’s shorter too, which makes it a good entry into an unknown author.

I don't know which communicates her philosophy more clearly though; I liked both books but I've really no idea what they were saying philosophically.
