Been seeing a lot of posts about Diva by Daisy Goodwin. If you liked that book and want to read more about Maria Callas I recommend this book, it's fiction but this author is very good and does plenty of research so rest assured it will be fact based.

I am using the tagged book for October's prompt for my #ReadingwithMaja challenge.

Very good. Another great book by Gill Paul as you are made to think you are witness to history as you feel that you are there with these historic people going through all their lives and the historic moments that they went through especially with Jackie during her first husbands death in Dallas. ⬇️

Birdsong28 Even though the author makes you aware that many of situations she has either invented or manipulated to help her story it doesn't take away how wonderful she crafts her story. 4y

For anyone who saw my post about the missing lines on page 43 of the tagged book these are the missing lines.

Traci1 Glad you were able to get it sorted. 4y

Is this just me or does this look like a misprint?

Bottom pic is end of pg 43 and top pic is the top of pg 44

Have sent an email to the publishers to see what they think. I will let you all know what comes of it.

Traci1 Looks like a line or two is missing at the bottom of 43. 4y
charl08 How odd! Hope you get an answer. 4y
Birdsong28 @Traci1 Thanks glad it's not just me! I have the Kindle version as well and it is just the same but it does look like there is something missing as it just doesn't flow as it seems to be half a sentence! 4y
Birdsong28 @charl08 Thanks I am glad it's not just me. I hope so! 4y
Birdsong28 @charl08 @Traci1 Have had a response and I was right. They sent me an email with the correct lines and it was a couple of sentences!! 📚 📖 4y

I liked this book but, unfortunately, I didn‘t love it. It is very well written, as all Gill Paul books are but this one did not leave me wanting more of this story.

It would be an enjoyable book if you have any interest in Jackie O or Maria Callas‘ stories or the way Onassis lived. I don‘t think you should pick it up if you are after a romance or a love story.
