Publisher Description
"[Narrator Julia] Whelan's performance is unforgettable in this darkly romantic fantasy about one young woman cursed always to be forgotten...Her depiction of the darkness is smooth with a low cadence, capturing listeners' attention and their heart strings." –Booklist
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.

Customer Reviews
Powerful, resilient, and emotionally revitalizing
This book was beautifully written and executed. It took me some time to fully understand the authors writing style but as the story went on it felt so real and beautiful. This book has so many little gems and nuggets of wisdom that will forever impact the person reading this book. I saw myself continuously rooting Addie the whole way through. I loved how her relationship with Henry blossomed. Even her relationship with Luc; although Luc creeped me out but every relationship that Addie had in the book meant something. I just love how the author finely woven the small details that we initially think doesn’t make sense but when everything started to come together it made it even more impactful. My hat goes off to V.E. Schwab, Job well done!!!!
A Beautiful & Unassuming Adventure
A very unique and beautiful story that brings emotions and provokes thought you didn’t see coming. Definitely a “keep in your library for reads to come” kind of book.
Great read!
