We interview Daisy Goodwin, novelist and screenwriter, about her latest novel, Diva (Head of Zeus March 2024), inspired by the life of the brilliant soprano Maria Callas.

The novel opens at a time when Callas is at the height of her extraordinary career but in a stultifying marriage and haunted both by her unhappy childhood and the ever-present fear of losing her voice.

When she meets Aristotle Onassis, she believes she has finally met her soulmate. But as the novel makes clear, just like the tragic heroines she embodies on stage, even her fame and brilliance cannot save Callas from heartbreak.

We talk to Daisy about the nature of the word 'diva', musical genius and the fragile nature of the human voice.

Daisy Goodwin is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter. She is the screenwriter of the PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria and lives in London.

She is also Tabitha Potts' sister and they have worked together in the past.
