Maria La Divina

Maria Callas, La Divina, was the greatest diva of all time - headstrong, magnetic, and unforgettable. Born into poverty and shunned by Italian opera houses, she rose through sheer will and the brilliance of her voice to triumph at La Scala and the Met. Worshipped and watched by the world, she died alone in Paris. In Maria La Divina, Jerome Charyn reveals the mythic singer as a woman who survived hunger, war, and loneliness to claim immortality.
