Please join for us to discuss The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, a novel about an aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon
This event has ended.
We meet next Tuesday for our discussion of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, a novel about an aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon who 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?
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 nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.
We will also be joined by our sponsor St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur who will be providing a gratis Literary Salon Spritz to each attendee.
