What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind.
A haunting, twisted dreamscape spanning over 300 years, The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue takes readers on a journey across the world. A journey to experience Addie's story, a story she is desperate to have heard.
This is a book like smoke, it will twist itself around you, and fill any gap that it might find. Taking place in our world, this story spans the centuries, visiting times gone, times we have nothing but tales of. It brings those times to life, in such a tangible, real manner.
In exchange for her soul, Addie is granted what so many of us desire, time, a chance to create the life she pleases. However, she is cursed to be forgotten, she simply exists, a ghost floating through the lives of those she meets, leaving nothing but smudges behind in her wake.
Blink, and the years fall away like leaves.
Filled with the most delicate and elegant prose, this novel is a stunning, evocative masterpiece of fiction that manages to touch on the human experience in such a raw, poignant way. As heartbreaking as it is, there is beauty on every page.
Inside this book you will find a heavy sense of loss and grief that is somehow transformed into something comforting. This is a book you can curl up with in bed, it's a book you can read under a single lamp, with nothing but the darkness around you.
