Publisher Description
An exhilarating and profound novel of tradition and violence and of loyalty and betrayal, The Family Corleone will appeal to the legions of fans who can never get enough of The Godfather.
New York, 1933: The city and the nation are in the depths of the Great Depression. The crime families of New York have prospered in this time, but with the coming end of Prohibition, a battle is looming that will determine which organizations will rise and which will face a violent end.
For Vito Corleone, nothing is more important that his family's future. While his youngest children, Michael, Fredo, and Connie, are in school, unaware of their father's true occupation, and his adopted son Tom Hagen is a college student, he worries most about Sonny, his eldest child. Vito pushes Sonny to be a businessman, but Sonny-17 years-old, impatient and reckless-wants something else: To follow in his father's footsteps and become a part of the real family business.
Customer Reviews
The Family Corleone
I really enjoyed this book, the way the author developed each of the characters gave me a determination to find out how it all came together at the end!,,
Family Corleone
Lot of detail made for slow reading. The ending was not very well thought out. It was like the author got tired of the book and brought it to an abrupt ending.
The Godfather continues
This is such a great story of how Vito Corleone rose to power and how the characters we see in The Godfather saga come together.
