A life no one remembers. A book no one forgets.
In The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue , V.E. Schwab's highly anticipated bestseller, meet Addie and get lost in her invisible—yet memorable—life.
France: 1714. Addie LaRue didn't want to belong to anyone or anywhere. In a moment of desperation, the young woman makes a pact: eternal life, on the condition that she be forgotten by anyone who knows her. A blink of an eye, and like a breath, Addie is gone. A turn of the back, and her existence dissipates from everyone's memory.
After so long living a dazzling existence, enjoying life in every way, using as many devices as possible and traveling through time and space, through centuries and continents, history and art, Addie understands her limits and discovers — despite being doomed to oblivion — how far she is capable of going to leave her mark on the world.
Three hundred years later, in a bookstore, an unexpected event occurs: Addie LaRue bumps into a young man.
He utters five words.
Five words capable of bringing the life I knew down:
I remember you.
A journey inspired by the Faustian myth of search and loss, eternity and finitude, and, above all, one question: how far will one go to achieve freedom? A New York Times bestseller and Entertainment Weekly recommended, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is an unforgettable book that has placed V.E. Schwab among the top fantasy authors of our time.
