![]() She also loves his work, and her favorite of his woodwork creations is a wooden ring, her most treasured possession ( keep that in mind because it will be important later!!!). Her favorite pet name, Addie, is used only by her father, and he allows her at a young age to be more herself, whereas her mother pushed upon her the traditional roles of a woman at this time. ![]() Though Addie has both a mother and father, it is established early on in the book that Addie is much closer to her father. ( Also, it’s important to know that Addie has seven freckles on her face, which is mentioned often throughout the book.)Īddie is very excited to leave her small village, and her desire to be free is made very clear even from the age of seven. Her father is a woodworker, and he is traveling to the city of Le Mans to go to the market to sell his work. Addie (Adeline) is a young girl, and she is about to leave her small village, Villon, for the first time. We then jump in time and location to Villon-sur-Sarthe, France, during the summer of 1698.

It’s as if Addie LaRue doesn’t even exist!!Īs Addie waits for Toby, the boy in the bed, to wake up, Addie plays piano. She’s unable to say her name and unable to be remembered the moment someone walks away from her, it will be as if they never met her. She is, in fact, cursed, and this curse has very specific bindings to it. We very quickly learn that this girl is not all that meets the eye. So, starting off, the book opens up in New York, 2014, with a girl waking up next to the boys she likes. This is where we first get glimpses as to how Addie cheats her curse and still makes an impression on the world, even though she’s been cursed not to leave a mark anywhere. So, for reference, in between each section of this book is a different piece of art, and each one alludes to Addie having some impact or inspiration within the art piece.
