|summary=If you're looking to buy a gift for a fan of fantasy novels but want something a little bit different, look no further than ''The Chimes'' a lyrical, vivid take on the genre from a published poet. Writing is outlawed and no one remembers how to read. In fact memory itself is at a premium; people carry their memories around with them in their hands or any way they're able as each day their minds empty of so much. The world now answers to the music of The Chimes summoning all to daily observance. The music is all. Imagine: a world with no writing, ruled by a mysterious upper class and surrounded by music. A well-conceived, delicate fantasy that reveals a multi-layered fable as it progresses for those who want it and a ripping good tale for those who don't.
