What does it mean to be alive? To live? To have lived?

When Addie is faced with a marriage she doesn’t want, she makes a deal with darkness. It comes at the cost of something she didn’t realize she’d miss, need, require, to be alive, to really live.

I think I’ll not forget the historic scope and sweeping breadth of Addie’s invisible life.

And it’s richly added to my ponderings on the meaning of life.

4/5 stars.
