Pages: 256
Transcending stereotypes, this novel redefines our ideas of criminal enterprises by uncovering the women who are strong enough, smart enough, and mean enough to take control. Meet ‘Lady Camorra,’ one of the first female mafia bosses, as she sips coffee and drums her black-lacquered fingernails on her kitchen table.
The Godmother takes the reader into the little-known role of the women that underpin Italy’s most ruthless mob families and grapples with the social and sexual codes governing the violent mafioso.
Dive into the abyss of this unexplored territory.
—Roberto Saviano
