The Godfather and The Last Don, there was Puzo`s classic story about the loves, crimes and struggles confronted by one family of New York City immigrants living in Hell`s Kitchen. Fresh from the farms in Italy, Lucia Santa struggles to hold her family together in a strange land. At turns poignant, comic and violent, and with a new preface by the author, The Fortunate Pilgrim is Italian-American fiction at its very best.
