Praise for this book

The most readable and by far the most illuminating biography to date of Callas the woman...Compulsive and convincing reading
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.
She will have the people of Cailornia in her heart. I know that becasue i experienced it.
