The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
This breathtakingly beautiful debut is a love letter to the written word and the power of stories to open doors to other worlds
According to January Scaller, there's only one way to run away from your own story, and that's to sneak into someone else's . . .
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr Locke, she feels little different from the artefacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored and utterly out of place.
But her quiet existence is shattered when she stumbles across a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page reveals more impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.
