Résumé
Praise for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue:
"For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality."
"Completely absorbed me enough to make me forget the real world." - Jodi Picoult, Washington Post
"Victoria Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war - all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue will enchant readers as deeply as its heroine's Faustian bargain; you will find yourself in quick turns both aching with heartbreak, and gleefully crowing at the truly delicious, wicked cleverness in store."
"Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is-ironically-unforgettable." - Hugo Award winner Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the kind of book you encounter only once in a lifetime. . . . A defiant, joyous rebellion against time, fate, and even death itself-and a powerful reminder that the only magic great enough to conquer all of it is love."- Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M
"Sweeping in its scope yet wonderfully intimate, it's dark and sexy yet romantic and heartbreaking." -Rebecca Roanhorse, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Black Sun
"Rich and satisfying." *-Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review*
"Deeply romantic, impossibly detailed." *-Booklist, Starred Review*
"Schwab's page-turner is an achingly poignant romantic fantasy about the desperate desire to make one's mark on the world." -Oprah.com, Best LGBTQ Books of 2020
"A beautiful, meditative novel with an ending that hit me right in the heart." -Buzzfeed, Best Fall Fantasy 2020
"It's a bit cheeky to call The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Faust for romantic bisexual goths, but it's not wrong... I for one will most certainly remember her."-*NPR*
"Addie is unlike anything Schwab has written before-epic yet intimate, sweeping but not sprawling... If Addie shows anything, it's that the impact of our actions and interactions can be vaster and longer-lasting than we can predict. Much like the seven freckles that sprinkle Addie's face, we create our own constellations, and as we live through these darkened days, I feel brighter for having added Addie to mine."-Slate
"Schwab beautifully explores what it means to be alone for so long that it's jarring and terrifying once you are finally seen...Addie is an independent and fascinating character who manages to make her mark in spite of the odds."-USA Today
"Schwab's writing is warm and intense, and the passages set in the past often make you feel as if you're reading by candlelight...The book is an elegant comment on the erasure of women from recorded history, but not a pointed one; you never feel that Addie LaRue is a metaphor. She is a woman fighting literally to be seen while bearing witness to her own life, and I rooted for her throughout."-New York Times Book Review
"One of the most propulsive, compulsive and captivating novels in recent memory."-Washington Post
"There is no particular art to literary fiction that doesn't exist in fiction of other genres, and V. E. Schwab's new book The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue isn't just an amazing book for its genre; it's an amazing book, full stop..*.*a gorgeous, immersive story...Schwab is an inclusive, ambitious, and exacting writer, and she doesn't let either her characters or her readers off the hoo…
