Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale is the journal of Dashti, the maid to the Lady Saren. Saren has been sentenced to be shut in a tower for seven years because of her refusal to marry the man her father has chosen for her, and Dashti is to take care of her during her imprisonment. Dashti is helpful, strong, and fearless. Lady Saren has seen too much and is timid, quiet, and demanding. Shannon Hale took the oft forgotten folk tale "Maid Maleen" and made it something new, exciting, and hard to put down. Check it out at Y HAL
