Book: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Author: V. E. Schawb
Genre: Historical Fiction
Language: English
"A Life No One Willl Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget"-says the blurb
I wound rather not forget Addie LaRue, a woman of strength, defiance and clarity.
In 1714 in a moment of helplessness, French woman Addie makes a Faustian deal to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Circa 2014, in New York City's book store Addie meets a young book keeper who remembers her name.
Though the name is invisible this three centuries long journey of Addie is extraordinary. The adventures unfold from countries to continents, across history and art.
I admired feisty Addie her grit and determination. Despite many hardship she refuses to surrender her soul. Living for 300 years can be very tiring especially when you don't have family, friends, or loved ones. Still she goes o from one experience to another. And does not regret her choice one bit.
Heard movie adaptation will be out soon.
One of the best reads of 2021
