This is a thought-provoking page turner that I found especially poignant during covid when so many people are dealing with lonliness and isolation. Addie sells her soul to the devil to win her freedom from an arranged marriage in the 1700s. However, she does not pay close attention to her words and her "freedom" and "not belonging to anyone" render her unable to make a lasting mark on any people or objects around her. After 300 years of being invisible she has now crossed paths with a guy who can remember her. We watch their relationship develop while learning her history in alternating chapters. I will be thinking about this story for a long time.
