Book of a Thousand Days

This week I have been doing a lot of knitting and a lot of reading. Bless you, commuter train. Anyway, I finished Shannon Hale's Book of a Thousand Days. Hale tells the story of Dashti, a lady's maid, and Saren, the lady, who are to be locked away in a tower for seven years because Saren refuses to marry an evil Lord. When the Khan that Saren wants to marry arrives is when the adventure really begins.

I enjoyed this book very much and it's another book to tell my niece about. I think she will enjoy it. Hale really tells a fairy tale very well.
