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 with the darkness 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 three hundred years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is more than a love story showcasing how messy, wonderful, strange, frightening and fragile love can be. It’s a story about Addie LaRue, a fiercely independent and stubborn girl who used her wit to be remembered in a world that easily forgets.
