And marrying some French farmer and spending the rest of her life raising his children didn’t agree with her character at all. She was, and remains for the whole book, an extremely independent and curious person that wants to see as much of this world as possible. Reason One: she really didn’t fancy this Roger guy she was supposed to marry.
Addie’s attitude towards this thing was as negative as possible, and there were two major reasons for this. No, Addie’s lot is much harder: when she was a young woman in early 18th-century France, her parents wanted to steer her into an arranged marriage. Why? Not because she’s hidden away some fancy horcruxes or drinks loads of Elixir of Life. Because Addie LaRue is, at the start of this novel in 2014, already 300 years old. One story is about Addie in modern-day New York, the other one tells us how she ended up there – and very unlike ‚The Lies of Locke Lamora‘, these time levels aren’t as close to each other as one would expect.

Schwab has writen an epic story full of heartbreak, love and cleverness that is carried by its extraordinary protagonist: Addie LaRue is a character you’ll – most ironically – never forget.Īddie’s story is told in two time levels interchangeably, very much like The Lies of Locke Lamora: we have the protagonist acting in medias res and also on her way there. ‚The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue‘ was my most anticipated new release-read of the year, not only because it was released on my birthday, and it was even better than I hoped. And guess what? I’m now a steadfast Schwabista for life. I’m late to the party: this is my first V.E. „Do you think a life has any value if one doesn’t leave some mark upon the world?“
