Plot

“Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017.” —BuzzFeed “The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —PopSugar From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six—an entrancing novel “that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all” (Kirkus Reviews), in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways. “Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.
Evelyn Hugo, anciana y solitaria ícono de las películas de Hollywood, finalmente está lista para decir la verdad sobre su glamorosa y escandalosa vida.
Cuando elige a la desconocida reportera de la revista Monique Grant para el trabajo, nadie en la comunidad periodística queda más asombrado que la propia Monique. ¿Porqué ella? ¿Porqué ahora? Monique no está exactamente en la cima del mundo. Su marido, David, la ha abandonado y su carrera se ha estancado. Independientemente de por qué Evelyn la eligió para escribir su biografía, Monique está decidida a aprovechar esta oportunidad para impulsar su carrera.
Convocada al apartamento de Evelyn en el Upper East Side, Monique escucha cómo Evelyn cuenta su historia: desde que se dirigió a Los Ángeles en la década de 1950 hasta su decisión de dejar el mundo del espectáculo a finales de los 80 y, por supuesto, los siete maridos en el camino. A medida que la vida de Evelyn se desarrolla, revelando una ambición despiadada, una amistad inesperada y un gran amor prohibido, Monique comienza a sentir una conexión muy real con la actriz. Pero a medida que la historia de Evelyn se pone al día con el presente, queda claro que su vida se cruza con la de Monique de formas trágicas e irreversibles.
