The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: Chapter 63 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Back in the present, Evelyn tells Monique her story ends with her, alone in an Upper East Side apartment, without the people she cared about the most. She asks Monique to make it clear that she doesn’t love her wealth, the apartment, or the adoration of fans; in fact, she made the wrong choices most of the time. All she really wanted was family, and now, she wants to go home to them. She says goodbye to her readers.
Though Evelyn and her life of luxury initially dazzled Monique, it’s clear now that most of the apparent comfort and happiness in Evelyn’s life is just a façade. Evelyn’s farewell is a foreboding moment—it seems clear to readers that she’s about to reveal a few important details to Monique.
