About this listen

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 intertwined—and 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 is beautiful, sophisticated, and contemplating leaving her ambitious young senator husband. Life in the public eye with an overly ambitious—and unfaithful—man 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 world's 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, Maria's and Jackie's lives began to overlap, and they come closer and closer until everything they know about the world changes on a dime.

I enjoyed this book so much! It was well written and grabbed my attention from the start. I’ve read other books by Gill Paul; she’s one of my favorites. Lisa Flanagan was outstanding with the narration. Thank you both very much.

was hesitant at first, kind of reading a soap opera, but it filled in a lot of gaps as I remember the big moments that made the news and wondered about. I do wonder what was actual fact but still interesting for folks who remember the 60's and 70's well

interesting enough to recommend

Did much research and found much based on truth. Some not...but worth the read to find out.

What I enjoyed the most from the audio was understanding the timeline of events and how they matched my own accounts of history.

What stood out the most was the back stories of all the characters.

Great listen…and quite possibly the best narration of an audiobook I’ve ever heard. If you’re a fan of Maria Callas, you won’t be disappointed. Just remember, that while the author draws a lot from real life, it IS a work of fiction. Maria and Jackie never met in real life, but the book works. It’s engaging and engrossing. Enjoyed it very much.
