Description

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GODFATHER – “A classic… The radical is lifted into literature by its highly charged language, its penetrating insights, and its mixture of tenderness and rage.” – New York Times Book Review

Described by the writer as his “very best and most literary book.” Puzo’s classic story concerning the loves, crimes and struggles confronted by one circle of relatives of New York City immigrants living in Hell’s Kitchen. Fresh from the farms in Italy, Lucia Santa struggles to carry her circle of relatives together in a abnormal land. At turns poignant, comic and violent, The Fortunate Pilgrim is Italian-American fiction at its best possible.

The book’s hero, Lucia Santa, is an incredibly captivating character and in accordance with Puzo’s very own mother – he describes, “her wisdom, her ruthlessness, and her unconquerable love for her circle of relatives and for life itself, qualities not valued in women on the time.”
