In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
France,
1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian
bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she
meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a
dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents,
across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to
leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after
nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden
bookstore and he remembers her name.
