A New York Times Bestselling Author
In the world of opera, Maria Callas was known simply as la divina: the divine one. But her fame was hard won, raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by a mother who mercilessly exploited her voice. When she met the fabulously rich Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, she believed she'd found someone who saw the woman within the legendary soprano. She fell desperately in love. He introduced her to a life of luxury, showering her with jewels and sojourns in the most fashionable international watering holes. And then suddenly, it was over. The press announced that Aristotle Onassis would marry former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, leaving Maria to pick up the pieces.
