Pandora by Holly Hollander
Born in a sprawling suburb of Chicago, Holly is an all-American girl. Kind-of-tall, long curly brown hair, a little waist she can nearly get her hands around, and a burning ambition: to write.
Pandora is the story of an unusual box discovered at the annual antiques fair, and what happened when it is opened. It's a murder mystery, a family tale, and a love story; Holly falls for the private detective, Aladdin Blue. But it's also something else; something altogether different...
Gene Wolfe
Gene Rodman Wolfe (1931-2019) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He was noted for his dense, allusive prose as well as the strong influence of his Catholic faith. He was a prolific short-story writer and novelist and won many science fiction and fantasy literary awards.
Wolfe is best known for his Book of the New Sun series (four volumes, 1980–83), the first part of his "Solar Cycle". In 1998, Locus magazine ranked it the third-best fantasy novel published before 1990 based on a poll of subscribers that considered it and several other series as single entries.
