Summary

From the internationally best-selling author of The Secret Wife comes a tale of love, sacrifice and betrayal. 

Jackie: when her first marriage ends in tragedy, Jackie Kennedy fears she’ll never love again. But all that changes when she encounters... 

Ari: successful and charming, Ari Onassis is a man who promises her the world. Yet soon after they marry, Jackie learns that his heart also belongs to another.... 

Maria: a beautiful, famed singer, Maria Callas is in love with Jackie’s new husband - and she isn’t going to give up. 

Little by little, Jackie and Maria’s lives begin to tangle in a dangerous web of secrets, scandal and lies. But with both women determined to make Ari theirs alone, the stakes are high. How far will they go for true love?

Critic reviews

"I can't rave highly enough about this book - it's my favourite Gill Paul novel to date. A dazzling yet moving portrait of two very different iconic women, it's brilliantly researched, compellingly told and completely fascinating. I just loved it." (Tracy Rees)

"The novel brilliantly evokes the world of the jet-set, rich and famous of the '60s so well I felt I was living it all alongside them." (Kathleen McGurl)

"A truly compelling story.... This is the best of historical fiction - leaving you wanting to learn more." (Liz Trenow)

Perceptive and well imagined

Three fascinating real life characters, icons at the centre of power, money and arts in the mid twentieth century, their rise to prominence, their devastating losses, their loves and intertwined lives. Onassis, Callas and Kennedy, perceptively imagined and beautifully narrated.
