Withdrawn from the spotlight and in the twilight of her life, the great star of old Hollywood, Evelyn Hugo, suddenly decides to tell the story of her turbulent and scandalous past.
She chooses to do so by selecting an obscure blogger, Monique Grant, who is tasked with recording an account that will reveal an entirely different woman — and a long-buried secret…
Unexpectedly, as she often does, she chooses the young and relatively unknown journalist and blogger Monique Grant to write her biography.
Evelyn Hugo’s story — from her beginnings in Los Angeles in the 1950s to her departure from the entertainment industry in the 1980s — reveals an extraordinary tale of ambition, marked by unexpected friendships, seven marriages, and a great but forbidden love.
And as Evelyn’s story nears its end, it becomes increasingly clear that the life of the great star is intertwined with Monique’s in a tragic and unexpected way…
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is the novel that brought wider recognition to American author Taylor Jenkins Reid, achieving major commercial success and entering The New York Times bestseller list in January 2021.
