The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

A girl. A god. A wish made after dark.

Villon-sur-Sarthe, France, 1714-- Adeline LaRue is free... but she is forgotten. Desperate for more than the life she is fated to live, she trades her soul for the only thing she has ever wanted: more time. So begins a life that spans centuries, continents, history, and art... until nearly 300 years later, when Addie meets a boy that does the unthinkable-- he remembers her. This is the first book that I read every year and recommend to anyone that will listen. The characters, the settings, the prose itself... I love absolutely everything about Addie LaRue.
