Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
mcfellie, May 30, 2008
"Book of a Thousand Days" might be categorized as young adult fiction, but I recommend it to people of all ages. Shannon Hale weaves the fascinating tale of a maidservant and her princess who are to be locked in a tower for seven years. How do they stay sane? What kind of relationship develops between them, and between them and the outside world? How do they physically survive? ... Do they get out? In a book that feels almost like fantasy, Hale creates a timeless chronicle that captures the imagination and empathy of the reader. She has a wonderful talent for telling the stories of worlds not her own. "Book of a Thousand Days" climbed my list of favorites as I read it, and remains very near the top.(1 of 2 readers found this comment helpful)
