From Goodreads
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 this spellbinding debut - step inside and discover it's magic.
My thoughts
I haven't had the chance to read this one yet, my request is still pending on NetGalley. I hadn't realised that I didn't have a copy of this yet in time to review for the Blog Tour, however I will be adding my review once read. I am looking forward to reading it as this is a particular genre that I enjoy reading.
With plenty of 5 stars and glowing reviews already, this book and Author are one to watch for the future.
About the Author
Alix E. Harrow is an American Author. She has had a varied number of jobs along the way. Below is info taken from Goodreads about her. We have one thing in common I too used to sell ice cream in my teens.
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.
