The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

A Novel

By Taylor Jenkins Reid

Reclusive screen legend Evelyn Hugo summons little-known journalist Monique Grant to record the truth behind her celebrated career and seven marriages. Moving from 1950s Hollywood to the present, Evelyn describes how ambition, sexuality, reinvention, and carefully managed publicity shaped both her stardom and her private life. Her account gradually reveals that the husbands named in the title were only part of the story: the defining relationship of her life was one she could not safely acknowledge in public. Meanwhile, Monique must determine why Evelyn selected her and what to do with a confession that may transform her own understanding of family, success, and moral responsibility.
