A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Carmella rested her head on Vito's shoulder. "I worry," she said. "All this . . ." She took a step back to gesture around her at the house and the compound. "All this," she repeated, and she looked up to Vito. "I worry for you."
"You always worried," Vito said, "and yet here we are." He touched her eyes, as if wiping away tears. "Look," he said. "Tom's in college. He'll be a hotshot lawyer soon. Everybody's fine and healthy."
" Sì," Carmella said. "We've been lucky." She straightened out her dress. "Did you talk to Sonny about Sandrinella? That boy . . . I worry for his soul."
Vito put his hands on her cheeks. "Sonny will be fine. I promise. He'll work his way up in the automobile business. I'll help him. In time, God willing, he'll be making more money than I could ever dream of. Him and Tommy and Michael and Fredo, our children will be like the Carnegies and the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers. With me to help, they'll be rich beyond measure, and then they'll take care of us when we're old."
Carmella grasped Vito's hands by the wrists, pulled them away from her face, and put them around her waist. "You believe that?" she asked, and she pressed her cheek against his neck.
"If I didn't believe that was possible . . ." Vito stepped back and took her by the hand. "If I didn't believe that was possible," he said, "I'd still be working as a clerk at Genco's. Now," he added, and he led her toward the kitchen and the back door, "everybody's waiting."

Revue de presse :

"A must summer read... Trust me. You'll enjoy." (New York Post)

"Falco ably exploits the tension between civility and brutality. The result is good, messy fun." (Guardian)

"If you have any knowledge of The Godfather you will love this book. It's a perfect addition to the Corleone saga...When you see this book, buy it. It is written with love for the characters and respect for Puzo. It is also a story that won't quit and I couldn't stop reading. Falco brought me back to a world I love and did it perfectly. As far as I'm concerned this is THE BOOK to buy in 2012." (Crime Spree Magazine)

"[C]hannels the original so well that readers will be vividly reminded of Puzo’s strengths . . . His moments of blam-blam-blam are ace. Best of all, he supplies a grand set-piece finale--a parade-that will leave readers dreaming of just one more movie." (Booklist)

"Falco’s solid Godfather prequel fills in the backstory of the iconic New York City Mafia family . . . Puzo fans will find this a refreshing change from the inferior sequels." (Publisher's Weekly)
