The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo : A Novel

A Dazzling Story of Love, Ambition, and Secrets

From New York Times bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid comes a mesmerising novel about a reclusive Hollywood icon who finally decides to tell the truth about her glamorous, scandalous life.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her remarkable, 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?

Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress unfurls 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. As Evelyn's life unfolds — revealing a ruthless ambition, an unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love — Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star. But as Evelyn's story catches up with the present, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
