"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."
This book got a lot of hype within the book world. While I thought it was good, I did not have the highest praise that some other had for it. It started very slowly and took a quarter of the book to really get going. Characters are well-written, but hard to like. Definitely worth the read, but go into it without the expectations.
