Publisher's Summary "[Narrator Julia] Whelan's performance is unforgettable in this darkly romantic fantasy about one young woman cursed always to be forgotten....

( Booklist ) In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life , The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times best-selling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.  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.  Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year - 2020 Barnes & Noble Best New Books of the Year - 2020 A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books  "This epic story, spanning three centuries and two continents, is expertly narrated by Julia Whelan....
