A family saga in which fiction meets ancient Greek tragedy
On March 30, 1960, Maria Callas gave birth to a premature child. Thefather was Aristotle Onassis. The newborn was pronounced dead inthe hours that followed, as a death certificate attests. But what if hehad survived? What if Onassis, to prevent the scandal of an illegitimateson, fabricated his baby's death and gave him up for adoption,unbeknownst to the mother?
Thus begins the incredible story of Omero Lengrini. Following theshadows of his illustrious parents from Athens to Rome, from Paris toNew York, Omero unravels a family saga woven with lies,manipulation, and deception in a landscape populated by Maria Callas,Aristotle and Christina Onassis, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jacqueline KennedyOnassis, and John F. Kennedy, Jr.
