A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

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.

Also by V. E. Schwab

It's slow paced, and left me wanting for more. More about Luc, more about Henry, but love the jumps between the past and present. It is a good book though, and would be a cool movie if ever made into one.

LOVED this book! V.E. Schwab is now one of my favorite authors. Vivid, eloquent prose reminiscent of Madeline Miller’s in Circe that is not easily forgotten

The story takes it time to unfold but once it does, it gets very interesting. This isn't an action packed story but it is beautifully written and could be a modern classic. Literally a story for the ages with a bittersweet ending.
