Product Description:
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.

The title of my book is Book of a Thousand Days written by Shannon Hale. This book is fantasy fiction.
When a 16 year old girl named Saren and 15 year old Dashti get locked up in a tower for seven years because Saren will not marry to the guy her dad wants her to. There are a million rats in the cellar and one night Dashti has a dream if the rats can get in they can get out! I don't want to give away the ending so you will just have to read it!

A lady and her loyal maid are locked in a tower for seven years as punishment for the lady's refusal to marry the man her father wants her to. The story details their imprisonment in the tower and the adventure that follows. Hale's version is told in diary format from the point of view of the maid--Dashti. ... Read More

I was a little displeased with Hale's "Enna Burning." I'm happy to say this made up for it. Hale takes the fairy tale of Maid Maleen and sets it Mongolia--with the tale's ignored maid as our main character and heroine. The story is told via Dashti's journal, an account of she and her lady's imprisonment in a tower and their life afterwards. Hale takes many liberties with the tale, but I could not help love all the little details to which she nodded. Dashti is a sweet and likeable girl who grows, ... Read More

I just could not get into this book, it would have been nice to provide a little more detail into the book or get into their emotions earlier in the story.
