Description: Famed opera singer Maria Callas met shipping magnate Ari Onassis in 1959 in Venice … and thus began a tumultuous love affair. Sparkling with power and ambition, this is the dramatic story of a woman exploited by those close to her, of her passion for her art, and her inevitable heartbreak. A fascinating and vivid portrayal, fit for a diva.

Comments from BDS Reviewers:

"It is a sparkling story, describing bits and pieces of Maria's early life, her brilliant career, and her life before and after her relationship with Aristotle Onassis."

"A wonderful exciting read!"

"There is so much more to know about Maria than we read in the gossip columns."

"A scandalous love affair between the most celebrated opera singer of all time and the richest man in the world."

"I have spread the word at our library book club, and there's a long waiting list!"
