Audiobook Review: Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations by Peter Evans
Listening to Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations feels like stepping backstage into a Hollywood legend's most intimate confessions, all narrated in a voice that is at once polished and raw. Peter Evans has distilled the "wickedly candid" memoir that Ava Gardner feared was too revealing for her lifetime, and the result is an audiobook that drips with humor, heartbreak, and the kind of sharp wit that only a star of Ava's caliber could wield.
From the very first track, you're drawn into Ava's world-her rural North Carolina roots, her meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom, and the whirlwind romances that defined her public image. The narration is peppered with anecdotes about her three husbands: Mickey Rooney's infidelities (even his mother warned her), Artie Shaw's domineering attitude ("a dominating son of a bitch"), and the chaotic yet intoxicating partnership with Frank Sinatra ("fighting all the time...madness, but he was good in the feathers"). Each story is delivered with a balance of candor and humor that makes you laugh while also feeling the sting of her regrets.
The audiobook's strength lies in its pacing. Evans doesn't rush through Ava's life; instead, he lets each chapter breathe, letting the listener absorb the emotional highs and lows. The sound quality is crisp, and the narrator's tone shifts seamlessly from lighthearted banter to poignant reflection, mirroring the memoir's own dual nature as both a "heartbreaking memoir of the ultimate heartbreaker" and a "complete delight." It's no wonder that reviewers like the Chicago Tribune called it a "raw-nerved revelation," and the Philadelphia Inquirer declared it impossible to put down.
What truly sets this recording apart is how Ava's voice comes through-unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely intelligent. She speaks of her love for jewels ("I'm kinda sentimental about the jewels") with a wink that reminds listeners she was always in control of her narrative. The audiobook invites you into conversations that feel personal, as if you're listening to an old friend recounting her most daring moments.
In summary, Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations is a masterfully narrated treasure that captures the essence of Hollywood's golden age through the lens of one of its brightest stars. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Ava Gardner's story, this audiobook delivers wit, depth, and an unforgettable listening experience that will linger long after the final track fades.
