The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

No one can explain why. At Evelyn's 1 Upper East Side apartment, the aging icon dismantles every expectation: there will be no magazine feature about her gown auction. Instead, Evelyn 1 wants Monique 2 to write her full biography, published after her death, with all proceeds going to Monique. 2 The offer is worth millions.
