The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo:Hollywood cinema legend Evelyn Hugo, who is ageing and reclusive, is now prepared to open up about her dazzling and scandalous life. No one is more shocked than Monique herself when she selects Monique Grant, an unknown magazine reporter, for the position. Why her? Why now?Monique isn't exactly in the best possible shape. Her career is stagnating, and her husband has left her. Whatever the reason Evelyn chose Monique to write her biography, she is eager to take advantage of the chance to launch her career.Monique is invited to Evelyn's opulent apartment and watches in awe as the actress narrates her tale.Without Merit:The Voss family is not at all typical. They reside in the recently baptised Dollar Voss, a converted church. The eldest children are annoyingly flawless, the father is married to the mother's former nurse, the mother once battled cancer, and the mother lives in the basement with her half-brother. Merit comes next.Merit Voss amasses awards she has not merited and secrets she is compelled to conceal by her family. She discovers Sagan while looking around the neighbourhood antique store for her next trophy. She is disarmed and given new life by his humour and unabashed idealism, but she soon learns that he is entirely unavailable. When Merit discovers a secret that no award in the world can cover up, she withdraws even further into herself, watching her family from the sidelines.
