Published in 1965, the novel is a departure from Puzo’s later crime fiction, offering a rich and immersive portrait of Italian-American immigrant life in the Bronx during the early 20th century. At its heart is Lucia Santa, a resilient matriarch navigating the challenges of assimilation, poverty, and the complex dynamics of family. Puzo’s masterful storytelling paints a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs of the Santa family, providing a nuanced exploration of the American Dream and the cost of achieving it.
