About the book
Despite being destined to be easily forgotten, Addie LaRue is a remarkably memorable character, and her tale is a delightful celebration of unlikely immortality, as noted by Neil Gaiman.
Described as a bestselling sensation by The Sunday Times, Addie LaRue's story is a unique blend of genres, offering a fresh take on Faustian bargains that will appeal to readers of The Time Traveler's Wife, Life After Life, and The Sudden Appearance of Hope.
After striking a deal with the devil for eternal life, Addie finds herself erased from the memories of everyone she meets, condemning her to a lonely existence where she is perpetually overlooked. As she traverses the globe, devoid of possessions and connections, Addie discovers the bittersweet beauty of falling in love anew each day, serving as an inspiration for countless artists over the centuries.
Accompanied only by the enigmatic devil with piercing green eyes, Addie grapples with her unique circumstances, yearning to understand and perhaps even outsmart him. However, when a chance encounter in a New York City bookstore shatters the illusion of her solitude, Addie is forced to confront the inevitability of her forgotten past and uncertain future.
