The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue – V.E. Schwab
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.

Review from Book Club Meeting:
Some ladies admitted that despite this not being a book they would normally read, they have enjoyed it immensely and couldn’t put it down.
To me this is the essence of book club! Getting to know new genres and authors, and just giving it a go.
“The invisible life of Addie LaRue” was a beautifully written and thought provoking piece. We spent some time discussing the complexity of characters and the idea of eternal life and belonging. Not to be too positive, we thought the book was a little long, however some of us enjoyed the cut scenes to the history of Addie and loved the book even more for them.
The HerSpace Book Club has given this book 4.4 stars!!!
