Description
"Evelyn Hugo, el ícono de Hollywood que se ha recluido en su edad madura, decide al fin contar la verdad sobre su vida llena de glamour y de escándalos. Pero cuando elige para ello a Monique Grant, una periodista desconocida, nadie se sorprende más que la misma Monique. ¿Por qué ella? ¿Por qué ahora? Monique no está precisamente en su mejor momento. Su marido la abandonó, y su vida profesional no avanza. Aun ignorando por qué Evelyn la ha elegido para escribir su biografía, Monique está decidida a aprovechar esa oportunidad para dar impulso a su carrera. Convocada al lujoso apartamento de Evelyn, Monique escucha fascinada mientras la actriz le cuenta su historia. Desde su llegada a Los Ángeles en los años 50 hasta su decisión de abandonar su carrera en el espectáculo en los 80 —y, desde luego, los siete maridos que tuvo en ese tiempo— Evelyn narra una historia de ambición implacable, amistad inesperada, y un gran amor prohibido. Monique empieza a sentir una conexión muy real con la actriz legendaria, pero cuando el relato de Evelyn se acerca a su fin, resulta evidente que su vida se cruza con la de Monique de un modo trágico e irreversible."--sitio web del editor.
Description
"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."--publisher's website.
