Anytime Addie tries to write, draw, or otherwise leave her mark, the words and pictures disappear. Even worse, she can neither forge new relationships nor rekindle old ones because whenever she is separated from an individual for even a second, that person forgets her. On the day Addie becomes too tired or bored of existence to go on, she will surrender her soul to the stranger.Īfter the stranger grants her request, Addie realizes there is a major caveat to her everlasting existence: Nobody remembers her. Refusing to resign herself to a life of rural domesticity, Addie flees to the forest and prays to entities she calls “the old gods.” As the sun dips below the horizon, a dark-haired, green-eyed stranger appears to grant her wish: eternal life for as long as she wants it. In 1714, in the French village of Villon-sur-Sarthe, 23-year-old Addie LaRue is to be married to a widower with three children. This study guide refers to the 2020 edition published by Tor Books.
