Jackie and Maria : a novel of Jackie Kennedy & Maria Callas
(Book)

Includes historical afterword and discussion questions.

"Jackie Kennedy was beautiful, sophisticated, and contemplating leaving her ambitious young senator husband while recovering from the birth of a stillborn child. So when she's offered a holiday on the luxurious yacht owned by billionaire Ari Onassis, she says yes. 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 begin to overlap, and they come closer and closer until everything they know about the world changes on a dime."--Provided by publisher.
