“The Ten Thousand Doors of January” follows the story of January Scaller as she sets about on a journey to find her real identity. Being bought up on Mr.Locke’s mansion with everything in abundance, January feels an unknown sense of hollowness in her heart. She craves for freedom, an escapade and more than that the love of her distant father who always seems to be on one or the other mission assigned by Mr.Locke.
As January’s impatience in the remote mansion grows, her inquisitiveness elevates when she finds a book tucked in a hidden chest. A smallish, leather bound book with scuffed corners and dented imprints where the gold stamped title had been partially scraped off – THE TEN THOU OORS. And thus the story commences. I accompanied January on every adventure she embarked upon and found my home beyond every door that January unlocked.
January oh my darling. January. She is hands down the most bravest,endearing, intrigued and big-eyed character I’ve ever come across. Don’t even get me started on how witty she is. It’s difficult to find protagonist to look up to these days considering how most of them feel eerily similar and disconnected. But with January it is like rekindling your old friendship with a dearest buddy.
Sam. SAMUEL ZAPPIA is a fluff ball and is to be cherised at all expense. His loyalty and unrequited affection for January is irrefutable. Also, who can even hate someone who gifts a pup to their best friend. RIGHTTTTTTT????? Yep that’s what I thought too.
SINDBAD IS PRECIOUS. BAD is easily the most adorable and devoted pet that ever was. No donot at the rate me.
TEN THOUSAND DOORS sets a mild and steady pace from the start and sticks to it throughout. The characters and the story unfolds layer after layer giving you the time to relish each twist and every turn. My friend over at bookstersisters calls the story organic and that is the exact word I’d use if asked to describe the book in one word. ORGANIC. RAW. IMAGINATIVE. Throughout the reading of the book the wholly immersive feeling clung on to me. I never once felt that the characters, the story was fictional. I was with January, Samuel, Jane and Sindbad fighting the demons, swimming through the vast oceans, opening the portals of in-between and realizing the power of words.
ALIX E. HARROW showcases the value of knowledge, of stories and all the wondrous things you can accomplish with a curious mind. She also presents us a rather clear picture of how racism flourished in twentieth century America.
I am pretty positive everyone who picks this enchanting book up will end up loving it. But mostly, people like me who have found their sanctuary in books, readers with a thousands lives : THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY is written just for you.
PERFECT BOOK THAT EVER EXISTS.
