The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow (Website, Twitter, Goodreads)Published by Little, Brown Book Group Limited on September 12th 2019
Pages: 384
In the early 1900s, a young woman searches for her place in the world 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.
The cover on this one is what drew my attention first, but I’m so intrigued by this summary!!
 So…What are you waiting for this week?
About Alix E. Harrow
I've been a student and a teacher, a farm-worker and a cashier, an ice-cream-scooper and a 9-to-5 office-dweller. I've lived in tents and cars, cramped city apartments and lonely cabins, and spent a summer in a really sweet '79 VW Vanagon. I have library cards in at least five states.
Now I'm a full-time writer living in with my husband and two semi-feral kids in Berea, Kentucky. It is, I'm very sure, the best of all possible worlds.
My debut novel--a historical fantasy called THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY--will be out in Fall 2019 from Orbit/Redhook.
My writing is represented by Kate McKean at Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.
