This breathtakingly beautiful debut is a love letter to the written word and the power of stories to open doors to other worlds

According to January Scaller, there's only one way to run away from your own story, and that's to sneak into someone else's . . .

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 artefacts 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.

Industry Reviews
A gorgeous, aching love letter to stories, storytellers and the doors they lead us through . . . absolutely enchanting

Devastatingly good, a sharp, delicate nested tale of worlds within worlds, stories within stories and the realm-cracking power of words

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

Many worlds, vanishing doors, mind-cracking magic: I clung to each page, searching for answers. This is one of the most unique works of fiction I've ever read

The Ten Thousand Doors of January healed hurts I didn't even know I had. An unbearably beautiful story about growing up, and everything we fight to keep along the way

A love letter to imagination, adventure, the written word and the power of many kinds of love

A tantalizing quest through strange and beautiful places and a love story that spans time, worlds and magic. I couldn't put it down
