Summary
SOON TO BE A NETFLIX FILM
'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 twists and the most satisfying of drama' PopSugar
From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six 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.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour 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.

Simply magnificent
I thoroughly enjoyed it so so much from the story line, the whole build up to it and the way it ended. Gosh! Feels like it has been ages since I invested this much on a book! The narrator was simply perfect. Like the cherry on the top!

Important. Beautiful.
How utterly refreshing, emotional and addictive this was. The performance is simply stunning. The structure and unfolding of the story is something to read, and reread again. What else has this person written? I want to read it all.

One of the best books I’ve listened to.
I absolutely loved this book from the very beginning.
You could feel the glamour, the seedy side of old Hollywood and the pain of hiding secrets relationships.
What a wonderful story and the narration was superb throughout.

Fascinating story and characters
I found the old Hollywood characters fascinating and the story gripping. I thought the narrators were convincing and pleasant to listen to. However, I did find the constant declarations of love and psychoanalysis a bit tedious at points and skipped over them but did enjoy the book overall.

So good! If Marilyn had lived on.
Reminiscent of the wonderful life of our Marilyn Monroe. If she had lived to be 90 could her life have been like this. We really get to know the life behind the star that is Evelyn Hugo. I loved this book and finished it in 2 days. It flew through the decades and I felt like I was there every step of the way. The love story woven through those decades felt pure, hopeful and real.
Do yourselves a favour and listen to this wonderful book.
