Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon

5.0

May I first say I was shocked by the realisation this was based on a true story. I had absoloutly no idea when I first started reading it and throughout the book found myself suprised by how real it all felt, turns out there was a very good reason for that fact. I realy enjoyed reading about the difficulties and small sucesses of Anna as she traversed this strange world with customs she didnt fully understand. I think she handled things well, trying to help where she could and only pushing as hard as she was able. The one person I found I had a strong dislike for was Moonande. I found him rude and disrespectful, they were all in a culture which wasn't their own yet the others though they disagreed often still showed some respect, he was just rude, I was glad when he left. I loved hearing of the royal children and was devastated when the little princess died (you know who I mean and I cant spell her name). The stories from after her time there were so sweet too. This book went so quickly, it was such an easy read. I would totally reccommend it.
