Summary

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.

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.

Critic reviews

"A gorgeous, aching love letter to stories, storytellers and the doors they lead us through...absolutely enchanting." (Christina Henry, best-selling author of Alice)

"A gorgeously written story of love and longing, of what it means to lose your place in the world and then have the courage to find it again. This book is a door I'm glad to have opened." (Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians)

"A tantalising quest through strange and beautiful places and a love story that spans time, worlds and magic. I couldn't put it down." (Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M)

I have no words for this book. it took me back to the joy I felt as a child reading for the sheer magic of being transported to another place or places in this case. Wonderful.

Great ideas all though the story, is definitely worth the listen but it could have been developed into soo much more. the conclusion of everything is crammed was to 'perfectly' into the last chapter. this one book could have been a series if it was well developed. felt a bit short changed. There are so many doors, worlds and adventures that could feed from this.

Worth the listen, wish there was more

I really liked this in the end but was a little slow to get started. glad I stuck with it though.

A good story
