The Invisible Life of Addie Larue

Description

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a spellbinding fantasy novel that tells the story of Adeline “Addie” LaRue, a young woman in 18th-century France who makes a Faustian bargain to escape a life she doesn’t want. She gains immortality — but at a devastating cost: no one remembers her.

Spanning centuries and continents, Addie lives a lonely yet fascinating existence, inspiring art, music, and stories without ever being recognized or remembered. That is, until one day in a New York City bookstore, someone finally remembers her name — and everything changes.

The novel is a moving exploration of identity, legacy, freedom, and the desperate human desire to be remembered. V.E. Schwab weaves historical fiction with fantasy, creating a hauntingly beautiful story about love, loneliness, and the power of storytelling.
