THE DIVA AND I combines old world charm with glamour, travel and humor. Essentially, a love story, it depicts the author's life with beautiful Metropolitan Opera star, Patrice Munsel. Two extraordinary people, the story has all the elements of a Hollywood plot. Mr. Schuler's memories and descriptions of his childhood and his eccentric extended family is a charming portrait of a long forgotten era reminiscent of a Mark Twain novel. His chapters on California and New York leave the reader wanting for more and when he meets and marries the already famous Patrice Munsel, the book becomes extremely interesting. Their marriage, and her fabulous career, plus their adventures all over the world with their children is really the core of the book. The story has everything ...humor, adventure, suspense (they were in danger many times) but it also has an element of sadness. When he tells the story of the heartbreak they experienced struggling to keep their son and daughter alive after both were born prematurely, plus the deaths of each one's parents, one can only admire the courage and deep love that helped them through these ordeals. Filled with celebrity anecdotes the book would make a great gift for anyone.
