Summary
  • "The love affair of Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis scandalized and fascinated the world from the moment it began in 1959 during a cruise on the fabled yacht Christina.".
  • "Now, Nicholas Gage gives us the first and only full account of this fateful romance, presenting new information he has uncovered. Gage was able to persuade the couple's associates, relatives, and close friends - some of whom had never spoken before - to share their most intimate recollections. He also gained access to some of Callas' most private papers, which provide an utterly new view of her personal life.
  • His narrative shows us that the Callas and Onassis relationship, far from being a passing dalliance, was in fact the deepest and longest-lasting emotional commitment either of them ever knew."--BOOK JACKET.
