A Life No One Will Remember.
A Story You Will Never Forget.
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.
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.
“One of the most propulsive, compulsive and captivating novels in recent memory.”
—The Washington Post
“Warm and intense…I rooted for [Addie] throughout.”
―New York Times Book Review
“Beautifully explores what it means to be alone for so long.”
―USA Today
“I for one will most certainly remember her."
―NPR
“Evocative and clever…will leave you smiling, filled with love and longing for more magical moments in everyday life.”
―CNN
“An achingly poignant romantic fantasy about the desperate desire to make one’s mark on the world.”
―Oprah.com
