The Family Corleone is a 2012 novel by Ed Falco, based on an unproduced screenplay by Mario Puzo, who died in 1999.[1] It is the prequel to Puzo's The Godfather. It was published by Grand Central Publishing and released May 8, 2012.[2] It is the fifth and final book published in The Godfather novel series, but, being a prequel, it is chronologically set first.
The novel, set in the Great Depression, at the end of prohibition, tells of how Vito Corleone consolidated his power to become the most powerful Don in New York City. Also, it tells of Sonny Corleone's inauguration into the family business and Tom Hagen's graduation from being an adopted member of the Corleone family before becoming the consigliere. The novel also reveals how Luca Brasi first became associated with the Corleones, and introduces a number of new characters, including the crime boss Giuseppe Mariposa.
Plot[edit]
In 1933 New York City, 17-year-old Sonny Corleone is aware that his father Vito Corleone's olive oil business is a cover for his Mafia activities. With prohibition ending, and tensions between the organized crime groups in the city rising, Sonny wishes to join his father's criminal empire.
Reception[edit]
Reception for the novel was mixed to positive,[3][4] with George De Stefano in New York Journal of Books arguing that 'Ed Falco deftly pulls off a feat of literary necromancy, bringing back to life one of the most iconic figures in American popular culture: Don Vito Corleone.'[5]The Washington Post's Patrick Anderson wrote, 'Falco has captured Puzo's rich prose style and eye for detail. If you want to read another installment of the Corleone story, The Family Corleone is a solid piece of work.'[6]Kirkus Reviews gave it a positive review, calling it: 'A worthy addition to the lurid world of the Five Families.'[7]
Film adaptation[edit]
The estate of Puzo had sought to keep Paramount Pictures from producing a feature film based on the novel.[8] This has been resolved, with Paramount gaining the rights to make more Godfather films (as of early 2019, no plans had been announced).[9]
Audiobook[edit]
An audiobook of The Family Corleone was produced by Hachette Audio, read by Bobby Cannavale.

The Sicilian - Mario Puzo Summary
Michael Corleone's exile in Sicily is ending, but on the instructions of his father, The Godfather, he must bring back to him the young man known as Salvatore Giuliano - if he can find him. At sea amid the treacheries of a brutal and unfamiliar land, Michael must find a way through the labyrinthine deceits that surround him, while Giuliano prepares himself for a final confrontation with Don Croce, Capo di Capi of the Sicilian Mafia. A novel of explosive suspense, heroic action - and evil on an epic scale. In the hands of Mario Puzo's brilliantly sinister talent, the reader comes to know again the terrible magic of the Mafia.
