Burned-out bookbinder Ilsa Marenholt never expected the wallpaper in her rented bedroom to hide a small blue door, or that it would open onto Auberlin, a sunlit orchard country whose memory is kept in nine fraying books. Between dusk and dawn, she is asked to mend them alongside Teodor Valcourt, the warm, secretive Door-Keeper who has never once stepped through his own door. But the stitches in the oldest book look exactly like hers, the village seems oddly determined to slow her down, and her landlady knows far more about the door than she admits. When the last book is closed, the door will close with it, and the hardest thing for Ilsa to repair is her belief that she is only worth loving when she is useful.
