Dopo anni vissuti lontano dai riflettori, la ex "divina" di Hollywood Evelyn Hugo, autentica icona della storia del cinema, è finalmente pronta a svelare la sua verità. E anche quella sui suoi sette mariti, naturalmente. Per farlo, sceglie Monique Grant, una reporter semisconosciuta. La più stupefatta è proprio Monique: perché proprio lei? E perché proprio adesso?

Si dà il caso che per la giornalista non sia proprio un gran momento: dopo pochi mesi dalle nozze il marito l'ha lasciata, e a trentacinque anni la sua vita professionale sembra già arrivata a un punto morto. L'incarico di scrivere la biografia di Evelyn Hugo potrebbe essere l'occasione che aspettava per dare una svolta alla sua carriera.

E così, nello splendido appartamento di Manhattan dell'attrice, Monique ascolta affascinata le parole di Evelyn: dagli esordi nella Los Angeles degli anni Cinquanta fino alla decisione di ritirarsi dalle scene trent'anni dopo, passando per i numerosi matrimoni, l'attrice rivela una storia di feroce ambizione, amicizia inattesa, e un grande amore proibito. Monique si sente sempre più vicina alla leggendaria star: a mano a mano che il racconto di Evelyn si avvicina alla conclusione, appare chiaro che le loro vite sono legate in modo drammatico e ineludibile.

The repercussions of an illicit affair unfold in this short story by bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Dear stranger…

A desperate young woman in Southern California sits down to write a letter to a man she’s never met—a choice that will forever change both their lives.

My heart goes out to you, David. Even though I do not know you…

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.

Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.

From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.

Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.

Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.

They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.

This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.

Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now...

Com todo o esplendor que só a Hollywood do século passado pode oferecer, esta é uma narrativa inesquecível sobre os sacrifícios que fazemos por amor, o perigo dos segredos e o preço da fama.

Lendária estrela de Hollywood, Evelyn Hugo sempre esteve sob os holofotes — seja estrelando uma produção vencedora do Oscar, protagonizando algum escândalo ou aparecendo com um novo marido… pela sétima vez. Agora, prestes a completar oitenta anos e reclusa em seu apartamento no Upper East Side, a famigerada atriz decide contar a própria história — ou sua "verdadeira história" —, mas com uma condição: que Monique Grant, jornalista iniciante e até então desconhecida, seja a entrevistadora. Ao embarcar nessa misteriosa empreitada, a jovem repórter começa a se dar conta de que nada é por acaso — e que suas trajetórias podem estar profunda e irreversivelmente conectadas.

"Evelyn Hugo faz Elizabeth Taylor parecer sem graça. Você vai rir com ela, chorar, sofrer, e então voltar para a primeira página e fazer tudo de novo." — Heather Cocks e Jessica Morgan, autoras de The Royal We
