From the title I'm sure you can figure out something! Keturah Reeve follows a hart into the forest. There she gets hopelessly lost. Three days later Death comes for her. Keturah expects him to be evil but instead he is a young man with a dark cape. He tells her her time has come and her village will be next when the plague strikes. She pleads with him to let her live and warn the villagers . It's hopeless until she starts telling him a story. A story she refuses to end. She wins one day of life. Death tells her if she can find the true love she hopes for, she can live and he will not take her. But it's harder than she thought. she even goes to a magic woman who gives her a charm to help, but it doesn't work as she expects. Angrily Keturah goes back to her but, she only tells her that she already has true love so the charm will not help much. Throughout the story she meets many unhelpful bachelors but in the end she must face Death.
Here's one book I'll keep in my head. The ending was perfect. I'm sure some of you can guess at what happens. Let me tell you, it doesn't end exactly the way it seems like it will. I couldn't believe the end when I read it. It's so good it was a National Book Award Finalist. It completely lived up to my expectations.I like how she chases a hart into the forest and then finds out she has to find her heart's true love. Of all the creatures the author could have chose, she chose the one that sounds the closest like love. If you read this book be prepared for a completely new sensation of feelings for this one of a kind book.
