Jackie and Maria

A Novel of Jackie Kennedy & Maria Callas

De: Gill Paul

Narrado por: Lisa Flanagan

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 was 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.

Read twice

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

Stellar

Outstanding writing and narration. I love how the author writes from both characters points of view. This book was so engaging that I listened all night.

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

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

Amazing
