From the publisher: In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery with the help of a mysterious book, good friends, and a bad dog.
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.
