THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION
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.

An actress’s life story

Monique gets asked by the Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo to write a story about her. What she does not know, is that the appointment is not for “just” a story, but for Evelyn to tell Monique her life story to be put into a book after her death. While Monique is struggling in her own life she agrees to the deal. To write the book she spends many days with Evelyn telling her story about glamour, struggles and her seven husbands. During this time Monique starts to relate to Evelyn, but how will she feel at the end?
The book is incredibly well written and really shows the life in Hollywood during “The Golden Age”. Evelyn as a character is disturbing. On the one hand you want to like her, on the other you want to dislike her. Her actions, while often understandable, are very selfish and she learnt to put herself first very early on. Still a while after having finished the book I cannot say if I would be able to forgive her actions if I were Monique.
I highly recommend everyone to read the book.

Das eBook lässt sich auf dem Tolino Shine 5 kaum lesen. Wenn man den eReader ausschaltet und wieder anschaltet öffnet sich das Buch nicht mehr richtig und zeigt nur noch einen weißen Bildschirm. Nichts was ich tue repariert den Fehler und auch der erneute Kauf hat den Fehler nicht beheben können. Über die Handy App lässt sich das Buch problemlos lesen, das ist nur leider nicht der Sinn hinter einem eReader.
