NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
“If you’re looking for a book to take on holiday this summer, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has got all the glitz and glamour to make it a perfect beach read.” —Bustle
 
From the New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she 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.


 她精采不羈的人生中有過七個新郎,
真愛卻始終只有唯一……

艾芙琳‧雨果是好萊塢黃金時期家喻戶曉的女明星,不但才貌絕倫、獲獎無數,感情世界更是媒體爭相挖掘的八卦話題──她一生結了七次婚,歷來的七個新郎包括性格男星、才子導演、當紅歌手等等名流,有人批評她放浪形骸,也有人讚賞她率真勇敢,但從沒有人了解她在如日中天的演藝事業和一段段轟動緋聞之外的生活。
 
如今這位退隱多年的巨星突然決定口述自傳,說出自己神祕的生涯故事;驚人的是,她指名一位沒沒無聞的年輕記者莫妮克為她執筆。莫妮克相當驚喜,不但因為這項合作必能讓她名利雙收,也因為她的出身背景和艾芙琳走紅時期的影壇略有淵源:她的父親是電影攝影師,但在她兒時就意外死於車禍。
 
艾芙琳的故事帶莫妮克回到二十世紀下半葉燈紅酒綠的好萊塢,追述她在幕前與幕後度過的燦爛年華,訴說她為了走上星路而付出的種種代價,還有她與七個丈夫的分分合合,逐步解開世人對她的私人生活長年抱持的困惑:她為何在聲名鼎盛之際放棄了一段又一段郎才女貌的夢幻婚姻?這些充滿傳奇色彩的浪漫關係,哪些是真情真意、哪些是逢場作戲?走到人生的黃昏,她真正的心之所愛究竟是誰?
 
在解答這些疑問的過程中,莫妮克深深被精采曲折的真實故事吸引,卻沒想到艾芙琳的人生和她的關聯,更遠多於她一開始所想像……
