Athina

Description

"Athina Onassis Roussel, the richest little girl in the world, has inherited much more than unimaginable wealth from her heiress mother, Christina Onassis." "In her twelfth year, she is fully aware of the headline-making battle between her French father, Thierry Roussel, and a group of Greek trustees for control of her share of the Onassis billions. This compelling book explores the legend of Athina's grandfather, the shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, and examines the legacy that is Athina's extraordinary birthright as the Last Onassis." "No 20th-century saga features more great names than that of the Onassis dynasty: the Kennedys, including JFK and his widow Jacqueline, who became Onassis's second wife; the opera diva Maria Callas who longed to be the third; and Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, with whom he fought a celebrated feud for control of Monte Carlo." "The authors have travelled the world to interview key witnesses, many of whom have never before spoken for publication." "No book has ever penetrated so deeply into the secret world of the Onassis dynasty or looked more closely at the lives of Thierry Roussel and his second wife, the Swedish model Gaby Landhage, as they prepare to guide Athina through her teenage years."--Jacket
