MediaDB / «The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" Victoria Schwab: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2021 / France, 1714. To avoid a loveless marriage, young Adeline makes a deal with a dark god. He gives her freedom and immortality, but his gift comes with a catch: from now on the girl is cursed to be forgotten by everyone. Her own parents don't recognize her. Anyone she meets will not remember her if Addie disappears from sight for a couple of minutes. Three hundred years later, in the present day, Addie is still alive. She saw how eras change. Her image inspired musicians and artists, even if later they could not answer what kind of mysterious stranger served as their muse. Adeline resigned herself: this is the only way to leave at least some memory of her in the world. But one day in a bookstore she meets a young man who utters three cherished words: “I remember you”... Fresh and rich, like a glass of brut on a hot day. With this book, Victoria Schwab reached a new level. If you've ever thought that eternal life might be the worst curse, Addie LaRue's story is for you..
