Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt. Young Adult Fiction.
Holy cats, was this ever a fantastic book. Keturah is lost in the forest when Lord Death comes for her. But she is so lovely, so charming and such a wonderful storyteller that he can not help but to grant her a reprieve. He gives her the chance to find her true love within 24 hours, but if she does not do so she must come back to him willingly. This is a mesmerizing fairy tale. It's truly a work of genius, and I'm not sure why it hasn't gotten more notice in the United States. This is a wonderful suggestion for a strong teen reader who is looking for romance. A gentle, poetic novel.
