Undermajordomo Minor by Patrick DeWitt
Set in a whimsical, fairy-tale-like world, the story follows the misadventures of Lucien "Lucy" Minor, a young man who leaves his small village to take up the position of assistant to the enigmatic majordomo at the mysterious Castle Von Aux. As Lucy navigates the peculiar and often absurd happenings within the castle, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including thieves, a love-struck soldier, and a beautiful woman who captures his heart. Amidst the backdrop of a looming war and the castle's dark secrets, Lucy embarks on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness in a world that is both enchanting and unsettling.
