It is the turn of the twentieth century and Locke employs January’s father to travel the world searching for (and taking possession of) arcane archaeological treasurers. January Scallar is a wilful child who lives with her father’s wealthy employer Mr Locke. ![]() Which brings us to The Ten Thousand Doors of January, the debut novel from Alix Harrow, a book that trope-wise, is about as YA as they come, which is not in itself a criticism, just an observation.
