MARIO PUZO: BOOK: The Fortunate Pilgrim |
"The Fortunate Pilgrim is my best and most literary book.
And, even though it was very well received by the critics, it made no money." -- Mario Puzo
The Fortunate Pilgrim (1965)
Summary: Lucia Santa came to New York from the mountain farms of Italy because she knew there had to be a better life. But what she finds in the streets of Hell's Kitchen is a life to break a strong woman's heart. Two tragic marriages, six children to support by herself, a fiery-hearted daughter who insists on living and loving as an American, an oldest son who gets involved with the mafia. And through it all, Lucia Santa - wife, widow, mother, grandmother - endures as a woman of incomparable dignity, courage, and passion.
Filled with laughter and tears, fury and forgiveness, The Fortunate Pilgrim is a spellbinding poertair of a family determined to survive in America. It is a novel that only Mario Puzo could have written.
