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.

About half way through the book I got bored with it. However this book made for a great discussion at book club and most of the others present seemed to have really enjoyed the book very much.

This was such an easy book to slip into and find the pages disappearing when you come back out of the fog and look at the clock. Every other page seemed to have some clever line embedded that made me stop and appreciate it for a moment. There's a bit I would probably criticize about the characters, some of the plotting decisions, the arrangement of the scenes, and the ending. But at the end, all I was left with were thought provoking ideas & appreciating it for what it was.
