Review: Excellent! A real page turner - Wonderfully detailed book about Maria and Ari. Written by a Greek, gives insight and interviews by people who knew this passionate couple.
Review: An Anciant Greek tragedy - One of my favorite books (and one I have vowed to read again) if you are interested in Maria Callas and/or Aristotle Onassis. It is beautifully written by the author of Eleni (another book I recommend after this) and does read like the most tragic of tragedies (at least for Maria). It shows the immense and irrational power of love that Maria, an incredibly successful person in her own right, probably THE opera diva of all time, by no means a weak person, could pursue love so relentlessly with someone who was never going to fully reciprocate her desire for complete union. In many ways it reads like an Anclient Greek play with all the fatalism of being in the hands of the Gods and the fatal flaws that bring about downfall (and those characteristics are not uncommon among modern Greeks). It is not separate biographies of each, rather a combined biography of the two, treated as one half of a relationship. Don't look for a detailed musical analysis of Callas' music, rather a passionate story of a relationship sadly gone awry. One of the most beautiful quotes was from a mutual friend who described them in the famous analogy used by Plato of two hemispheres that spend the whole of their lives trying to find the other half to complete themselves. Callas fully understood that; tragically, Onassis didn't. Don't hesitate!

This Book accomplishes a fantatic inside look at what waas going on - REALLY GOING ON - behind the scenes - in the period hosted by so many amazing players, Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas and the worlds they lived in.. Top Global Business, Opera, Royalty, Politics (Jackie O and the Kennedys) the Top Movers and Shakers in the World...

It is a great study of great historical figures and presented in a way that is credible, backed by so much oral histor. It is a fast read, thoroughly enjoyable, and opens windows onto an era on so many levels. Thanks to the great writing.
