About this title

Review:

She will have the people of Cailornia in her heart. I know that becasue i experienced it.--Pauline Lubens "San Jose Mercury News "

The author has entered the complex and contradictory mind of Maria Callas in an extraordinary way, and the result is a powerful story told movingly yet without exaggeration. It is unquestionably an important book, and surely the finest biography of Callas ever written.--John Ardoin, Author of The Callas Legacy

The most readable and by far the most illuminating biography to date of Callas the woman...Compulsive and convincing reading--The Times (UK), (London)
