Os sete maridos de Evelyn Hugo

At the request of the faded film icon Evelyn Hugo, journalist Monique Grant, whose own marriage is ending, comes to the star's Manhattan apartment to record her biography. Evelyn describes how a poor girl from Hell's Kitchen reached Hollywood stardom through calculated marriages to seven men, and how all of it was meant to protect a real romance with fellow actress Celia St. James. Monique wonders why she was chosen, and the answer arrives in a final twist.

Fits readers who enjoy a drama about old Hollywood with modern questions about identity and ambition. Expect to be moved by the story's frankness about what people hide for love and success.

Inward-looking; an easy read.
