“Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour.” —BuzzFeed “This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected tw...ected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —PopSugar In this entrancing novel, 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.

Hollywoodska romantika na pozadí škandálov a lesku

Krásna obálka knihy Sedem manželov Evelyn Hugovej nie je len pozlátkou ako v prípade mnohých hollywoodskych rýchlokvasných vzťahov, ale verne odráža pútavý, nevšedný príbeh. Už len samotný námet znie zaujímavo, a keď je navyše aj remeselne spracovaný, hit je na svete. Ide totiž o rozprávanie (nerád by som v tejto súvislosti použil slovo životopis) starnúcej hereckej legendy, ktorá si vyberie[...]

Sedem manželov Evelyn Hugovej (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
