Seller Description
Crease in front cover, otherwise perfect condition! Has deckled edges. “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 await in Alix E. Harrow's spellbinding debut--step inside and discover its magic.”

Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed but generally positive opinions about this book. Many praise its beautiful writing, unique storylines, and imaginative concepts, particularly the idea of enchanting doors leading to unknown worlds. Some readers, however, noted a slow start and felt the prose could be overly poetic at times, detracting from the clarity of the narrative. While the character development of the protagonist, January, received criticism for being somewhat immature and unconvincing, others appreciated the dual perspectives and the emotional depth they brought to the story. Overall, readers found it a captivating and heartwarming read, though not necessarily for everyone.
