Historical fantasy

The Ten Thousand Doors of January

by Alix E. Harrow

In the early twentieth century, January Scaller lives under the supervision of the wealthy Mr. Locke while her father travels the world collecting unusual objects for him. January has learned to make herself small and obedient, but the discovery of a mysterious book rekindles her childhood memory of a doorway into another world. As the book's story begins to intersect with her own history, she uncovers secrets about her family, her guardian, and the forces determined to close such passages forever. This lyrical historical fantasy combines portals, adventure, identity, and hard-won hope, making it a natural vacation read whenever you want a doorway out of the ordinary.
