About Santa Evita

From one of Latin America’s finest writers comes a mesmerizing novel about life of the legendary Eva Peron, the famed wife of an Argentine dictator, told backwards from death to childhood. • Now a 7-part Limited Series on Hulu.

Bigger than fiction, Eva Peron was the poor-trash girl who reinvented herself as a beauty, snared Argentina’s dictator, reigned as uncrowned queen of the masses, and was struck down by cancer. When her desperate but foxy husband brings Europe’s leading embalmer to Eva’s deathbed to make her immortal, the fantastical comedy begins.

“Finally, this is the novel I always wanted to read.” —Gabriel Garcia Marquez
