Maybe Marilyn: A Novel
Autor Lois Cahallen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2026
What if she got away? Because all she ever dreamed of was to disappear and have a child.
Marilyn Monroe’s housekeeper, Eunice Murray, and her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, were supposedly the only two people to ever see her dead. Five hours elapsed between the time they found Marilyn’s body and the authorities were contacted. These facts beg the question: Why was the house rearranged, phone records seized, and evidence destroyed? Was her suicide staged?
Set in 2019, this is a novel about Marilyn Monroe the survivor instead of Marilyn Monroe the victim. When two young reporters get the tip of a lifetime, they go on an elusive search to find her—and learn a thing or two about history in the process. Whether they find Marilyn or not remains to be seen, but what they do find is her granddaughter—alive and well—living up on Cape Cod.
Biographers have long claimed that there is a world of devoted fans who hunger to bring their idol back to life. Their hunger has never waned. Nor have the flawed reports.… #MarilynLives

Recenzii
“Lois Cahall brings her signature intelligence and wit to a timeless tale of a woman losing control of her own narrative amidst a media firestorm. What follows is a luminous novel about resilience, reinvention, and a whimsical ‘what-if’ journey.”
“There is a nostalgia...a Sinatra ring-a-ding-ding feel to Cahall’s novel seaming a delicate balance of past to present. It’s the love story we all would have wished for Marilyn Monroe.”
“A novel about a sweet and sad story: What if Marilyn Monroe ran away from Hollywood and lived a long life by the ocean among books and flowers?”
“Lois Cahall turns the mystery of Marilyn Monroe’s death into a thrilling page-turner that challenges all we believe about Hollywood’s most glamorous star and the power of glamour itself.”
“Maybe Marilyn does for the ‘what-if’ genre what Marilyn Monroe did for movie starlets: she defines it. Before the #Metoo movement had a name, Marilyn embodied strength and sensuality. She paid a terrible price, but what if her suicide was faked? With a host of supporting characters, Cahall illustrates the stark differences between Hollywood and a quiet New England town, and asks the question: what must a woman do to rewrite the script she was given?”
