#Seven husbands of evelyn hugo movie#
Monique is given the plumb assignment of a lifetime when “the” Evelyn Hugo calls up Vivant magazine requesting specifically Monique for an exclusive interview with the aging movie icon. Also, it seemed to be better, or easier, to see where it would break from Evelyn’s point of view to switching to Monique’s. I really liked how the Evelyn would tell her part of the story, and how that particular event was then profiled in the gossip news. Being able to see and read the sections written up like they were in the tabloid pages, the gossip rag news and the letters, gave a greater sense of being in that time period, in that element. I did see this was available in audio, and it did have a multi-narrator cast, with great narrators like Robin Miles and Julia Whelan – but now, after reading, I think I enjoyed this more the reading experience more from the paper version.

I read the bulk of this in just one day! Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. Once I sat down yesterday to read, I found I really couldn’t stop – so absorbed was I in Evelyn’s story, how exactly and why she came to have those seven husbands, and become the powerhouse sex symbol she was in those glamorous Hollywood days. Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for sending the advanced reading copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
