A book by one of my favorite authors: Shannon Hale! Book of a Thousand Days very good. I have enjoyed her other books (The Books of Bayern, and Princess Academy) and this one as well. Perhaps not quite so much as the others, as I did not relate to Dashti so much as Isi or Miri, but the story was very enjoyable. Full Cast Audio did an amazing job with recording the book! I am rarely let down with their adaptations.
"When Dashti, a maid, and Lady Saren, her mistress, are shut in a tower for seven years for Saren’s refusal to marry a man she despises, the two prepare for a very long and dark imprisonment.
As food runs low and the days go from broiling hot to freezing cold, it is all Dashti can do to keep them fed and comfortable. But the arrival outside the tower of Saren’s two suitors—one welcome, and the other decidedly less so—brings both hope and great danger, and Dashti must make the desperate choices of a girl whose life is worth more than she knows.
With Shannon Hale’s lyrical language, this forgotten but classic fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm is reimagined and reset on the central Asian steppes; it is a completely unique retelling filled with adventure and romance, drama and disguise." - from Amazon
I would suggest reading some books by Shannon Hale; I have read and listened to them several times, and enjoy each book every time I revisit it!
