In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times best-selling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.
A life no one will remember. A story you will never forget.
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.

精彩！ 猜測作者讀過Kate Atkinson的“Life After Life”，因?yàn)椴粌H整體給人的感覺有點(diǎn)像，這本書里也提到了“LAL”。 這本書名字雖然是“The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue”，它卻是從兩個(gè)人的角度講述的兩個(gè)人和一個(gè)神的故事。 其實(shí)Henry和Addie一樣也是“隱形”的。Addie無法被人記住所以invisible，而Henry真實(shí)的模樣無法被人看到所以invisible。被看到，被記住，兩個(gè)生命中十分重要的事情。愛和占有也是書里的一個(gè)話題，Darkness（Luke）對Addie的是一種占有欲而Addie和Henry之間的才是真正的愛。

The whole book is Addie saying: I belong to myself "Ich gehor' nur mir!" The love or lust or hate in between doesn't matter, even if she cherish the love she shared with Henry. She wants to be free.

青春不老的題材寫出了新意，三百多歲的女主并不像吸血鬼題材等的主角那樣過上低調(diào)奢華的生活，也無需擔(dān)心真實(shí)身份暴露，因?yàn)樗偸潜蝗溯p易轉(zhuǎn)身便忘記，只能四處游蕩。對于轉(zhuǎn)化她的夜魔描寫得像個(gè)典型的霸道總裁，給女主帶來痛苦卻又多次幫助和拯救他。

本書討論了人與人之間心理連接的重要性，對兩個(gè)主角的心理描寫得很好。感覺自己和Henry很有共鳴。而且書中記錄女主長達(dá)三百年的人生體現(xiàn)了人類歷史上時(shí)代和觀念的變遷，學(xué)世界史的時(shí)候聽聽挺有趣的
