Maybe It is a novel for the open minded only...
Unfortunately a great amount of readers were focused only on the sexual preferences of the characters rather than on understanding the entire context of the story. I read this book in one day and I couldn’t put it down from the moment I started reading it. I know the story might be scandalous for some conservative readers but hey, it’s 2021! What were you expecting from a contemporary novel that’s titled “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo”?
The story begins in the 1950’s when a lot of social, sexual and human situations where the cause for discrimination, abuse and also a cause of shame for some of those who lived in that era. It could have been the secret life of grandparents, o parents, aunts, uncles, godmother, godfather or neighbors, anyone! . The worst/saddest part is that 70 years later there’s still people out there hiding their true selves and living a fake life just to protect themselves and their loved ones...
Anyway, this is my first book from this author and I will be getting more from her. I like her style and loved the entire story from beginning to end.
