The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

by V. E. Schwab

In eighteenth-century France, Addie LaRue bargains for freedom and immortality but is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Centuries of art, travel, and brief encounters cannot erase the loneliness of leaving no lasting trace. Her existence changes when a bookseller remembers her, creating hope and new danger within the terms of the bargain. Lyrical and melancholy, this fantasy suits a late autumn evening for readers drawn to immortality, art, memory, slow-burn romance, and the stubborn desire to leave a mark.
