The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab is a sweeping, magical tale about a woman who makes a Faustian bargain to live forever but is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

France, 1714. Desperate to escape an unwanted marriage, Addie LaRue makes a deal with a dark god: she will live forever, but no one will ever remember her. The curse seems like freedom at first—she can go anywhere, do anything but the loneliness of being forgotten becomes its own prison.

For 300 years, Addie lives in the shadows, leaving her mark on the world in ways no one will remember. Until one day, in a hidden bookshop in New York City, a young man named Henry remembers her name. Suddenly, everything changes.

V.E. Schwab weaves a stunning story about art, love, legacy, and what it means to leave your mark on the world. A masterpiece of magical realism that will haunt you long after the final page.
