Book Reviews of Book of a Thousand Days
Book Review: A Poetic Fairy Tale Retelling
Summary: 5 Stars
In this retelling of a little-known, Brothers Grimm fairy tale set on the Eurasian steppes, Lady Saren and her maid Dashti are imprisoned in a tower for seven years due to Lady Saren's refusal to marry a man she does not love. Though food is plentiful and the amount of supplies in the tower seems infinite, life there is not comfortable. Visits from suitors and freezing nights are all recorded in Dashti's journal, her "book of a thousand days."
This novel by Shannon Hale, a Newbery Honor-winning author, is beautifully written, with passages that sometimes read like poetry. But you can also practically hear the voice of Dashti, as if she were talking directly to you. Book of a Thousand Days never gets boring, and no one will be able to pry this book from your hands once you get it.
