10 posts | 7 read | 12 to read
From the #1 bestselling author of The Secret Wife comes a story of love, passion, and tragedy as the lives of Jackie Kennedy and Maria Callas are intertwinedand they become the ultimate rivals, in love with the same man. The President's Wife; a Glamorous Superstar; the rivalry that shook the world... Jackie Kennedy was beautiful, sophisticated, and contemplating leaving her ambitious young senator husband. Life in the public eye with an overly ambitious--and unfaithfulman who could hardly be coaxed to return from a vacation after the birth of a stillborn child was breaking her spirit. So when she's offered a holiday on the luxurious yacht owned by billionaire Ari Onassis, she says yes...to a meeting that will ultimately change her life. Maria Callas is at the height of her operatic career and widely considered to be the finest soprano in the world. And then she's introduced to Aristotle Onassis, the worlds richest man and her fellow Greek. Stuck in a childless, sexless marriage, and with pressures on all sides from opera house managers and a hostile press, she finds her life being turned upside down by this hyper-intelligent and impeccably charming man... Little by little, Marias and Jackies lives begin to overlap, and they come closer and closer until everything they know about the world changes on a dime.

Historical fiction of two icons who both became entwined with the world of Aristotle Onassis. Facts are given with the fictional story written of what may have happened when an opera star and an ex First Lady end up in this billionaires life. If only social media existed then!

Not sure what to rate this book. The writing was not quite what I expected, but the storyline was very interesting, though mostly fictional. I always wondered why Jackie would marry Onassis. And his love affair with Maria was factual, she really was the love of his life.

Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks well I'm still non weight bearing on my left foot, so I'm basically unable to do much at all ,frustrating but he says this type of healing of ankle takes a long time 2y
TheAromaofBooks It's so hard to give those types of injuries the recovery time they need!!! At least it's fall so hopefully things are starting to slow down with the garden/canning/etc. Hopefully you have a nice stockpile of books to see you through!!! 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks I definitely have books!! Thanks Sarah 2y

I didn‘t know anything about Maria Callas going into this, so I learned a lot. An incredibly interesting story about these two women.

Enjoying this upcoming historical novel! Alternates chapters between the perspectives of Jackie Kennedy and Maria Callas, both of whom put up with a lot of you-know-what from husbands and society in general.
