内容简介
“Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017.” —BuzzFeed
“The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —PopSugar
In this entrancing novel “that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all” (Kirkus Reviews), a legendary film actress 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.
“Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

cobana的评论看了三天看完 手不释卷 电视也不舍得看了 就想知道what happened to Evelyn Hugo 作者文笔流畅 是我喜欢的文风 立意也很好 all I was ever really looking for was family. adoration of millions of people never warmed my bed.
-
vanessa的评论因为两个关注的读书的youtuber都推荐了这本书,于是好奇来读读。很简单易读的一本书,但是并没有那么反转那么出乎意料的效果。种族、同性等虽然不是特别标签化的存在,但也并不是深刻的表现。如果Monique离婚这条线能更加编制进去就好了,总有一种作者写着写着也不知道这条线该写什么于是索性不写了的感觉。

Lethe想要只喵的评论对于本决意跟着西皮下墓坑的西皮狗而言,仿佛Evelyn&Celia就是我西皮的投射。从种种蛛丝马迹中能看到的是她对她的深情,偶尔看着扒出来的细节,会想她究竟是怎样深爱着她。我跌过的几个真人坑全都如出一辙。Amber说,如果她认识的所有好莱坞的同性恋都一起出柜,同性恋在半个月内就不会算是个问题了。该等到何时才能毫无顾忌地做自己呢……

RY的评论节奏紧凑,阅读体验很好。Goodreads评分4.3/5了,豆瓣居然不到8?读到最后减了一分,因为有明确在为gay骗婚开脱和粉饰。另外,Celia是个烦人的作精。

津轻的评论前面大部分只能说是三星水平,后面三分之一触动了我。Harry真的是个很温柔的朋友。

炜滢的评论是很好的通勤读物,具备成人畅销书的一切特点。有点复杂但总体讨喜的主角们,情节发展的节奏是那种隔了十几个小时再次在挤的让人想骂街的地铁上翻开的时候可以马上回到Evelyn Hugo的世界里,触及到很多流行的话题,种族,性别,性向,道德,感情等等,但每一个话题都不会过于深入到让任何读者不适或者需要深度思考的程度。英文也简单易读却不是太低幼。

Clay的评论Go for what you want. In the end, what matters most is the people you love

Mimi's Musings的评论之前没读过这个题材的小说,要不是朋友不止一次说“not what you think", 我可能也属于看到书名,自作猜想,然后不会翻开书页的那类读者。这是一个50、60年代好莱坞成名,被大众永恒贴上“性感女神”标签的女星的故事。她不为人知的一面,她光鲜亮丽背后付出的代价。这是本适合飞行等旅途中翻阅的书,文笔近似读magazine文章,可以“飞速”阅读。它也有不可替代的闪光点:即使成名、富裕到Hugo的地步,女性在职场上(好莱坞或者各国演艺圈)都永远是要付出更多代价的那个。而在情感里,她们则又总是被苛责的那个。你不用喜欢她,也可以声讨她犯的错,但你无法否认这种因性别的巨大差别待遇实是不公,不应该被忽视。

清醒纪的评论人会因为无关紧要的人而隐藏自己的真实感受,改变自己的行为去满足别人的期待。不知不觉,伤害了自己最珍惜的人,到最后才知道要补救,可是多少时光过去再也不回来了。

的评论我从来没有像这样在意过一本小说。其它很多故事我读过喜欢过,但不会去感受里面的人物,因为我知道它们只是故事,我只是在乎情节和深度。而这是虚构也是现实:作者除了用第一人称讲述,那本传记的书名就是此书名,且我们的确不记得Evelyn的存在就像她所要求的那样(remind them that EH never existed),更何况现实中好莱坞的传奇对于我们来说和虚构并无差别。我爱这本小说,不仅是Ev作为一个传奇的复杂性,还有复杂人性的普世性(No one is just a victim or victor. No one is all good or all bad. )、跨越超过半个世纪的深爱、单纯到令人心碎的友谊,父母对女儿愿意付出的代价和爱(不论有无血缘)。读到最后,我实实在在地哭了。
