Born in France in 1691, Addie LaRue yearns for a life beyond her village's constraints. Out of desperation, she makes a Faustian bargain with a dark entity named Luc, to live forever, but with a terrible twist—she will be forgotten by everyone she meets. For nearly 300 years, Addie drifts through continents, witnessing history unfold but unable to leave a permanent imprint, not even a simple signature. She witnesses revolutions, wars, and changing landscapes. But loneliness clings to her until 2014 in New York City when she meets Henry in a bookstore. To her astonishment, he remembers her name the next day. As their love story unfolds, we find out that Henry has made a similar deal, one born from a moment of despair. V.E. Schwab's "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" is an exploration of time, love, and the lengths we would go to for immortality.
