Bridport Literary Festival

In the glittering and ruthlessly competitive world of opera, Maria Callas is known simply as La Divina: the divine one. With her glorious voice and instinctive flair for the dramatic, she was the toast of the grandest international opera houses. Raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by an exploitative mother, her rise to fame came at a price. Daisy Goodwin brings to life a woman with extraordinary talent, unremitting drive and natural chic that made her a legend. By confronting the heartbreak of losing her lover Onassis to Jacqueline Kennedy, Callas found her true voice.
