He did his "har-har-very-punny" laugh, but I hadn't actually meant the pun. I had spotted a stag grazing in the raspberry patch. €�You are too young to marry, Keturah,” Lord Death's rich voice reached Keturah's ears, “And too young to die…Therefore, I will give you a boon: choose whom you will to die in your place so that you may live” (Leavitt, 2006, p. Seeing Keturah & Lord Death on my bookshelf brings back the memory of a summer evening. Lost and hungry after following a stately hart through the forest, Keturah encounters Lord Death, who is ready to take her. Her strength diminishes until, finally, she realizes that death is near–and learns then that death is a young lord, melancholy and stern. Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt. Can there be a more frightening, wounded, tragic hero? Keturah follows a legendary hart deep into the forest, where she becomes hopelessly lost. Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt "I'm kind of dying to know how it ends." I told Jacob in the middle of the book. And yet, Keturah grew up happy developing her pie-making skills and telling stories. But just to put it right out there — Leavitt's latest is nothing like Keturah and Lord Death, with its mythopoeic elements and historical/fantastical setting. But, when she turns 16, she follows the hart into the forest, and loses her way, wandering for days until Lord Death finds her. The stylized, almost simplistic, language used in this story immediately sets the tone of an adult, twisted version of an old-fashioned fairy tale. I was surprised at how strongly I fell for Lord Death in this book—and how I find myself thinking about him and Keturah months after reading it. I moved closer, he stopped and checked my approach.
