LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER Finalist for the 2020 Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards.
In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut.
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 artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.
Then she finds 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 turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.
Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Harrow's spellbinding debut--step inside and discover its magic.
Review:
This was so good. I am so glad that I read this. I think it was easily earn a place in my top ten books of the year. I love the concept of this. Some of it was hard to read (as in the content, not the quality of the writing.) But it was so worth it. There was some social commentary on history, as well. The Doors were so cool to read about it. I like January, Jane, and Samuel. I was surprised a few times, too. The writing was absolutely beautiful. I loved it. I would highly recommend it!!
