Synopsis

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work—a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption—and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.Praise for The Sicilian“Puzo is a master storyteller.”—USA Today “The Balzac of the mafia.”—Time“An accomplished and imaginative writer.”—Los Angeles Times

Goodreads review by Ben on January 23, 2012

Mario Puzo claims his fame and fortune with The Godfather. He exerts his mastery of writing and storytelling in The Sicilian. This book offers nearly every addictive literary substance for which the reader's neuro-transmitters scream. Puzo offers action, suspense, national heritage, generational char......more

Goodreads review by Iain on November 12, 2023

A slight disappointment when you realise this isn't really the sequel to The Godfather novel it is billed as. Instead, Michael Corleone plays only a bit part role to the main story of The Sicilian outlaw of the title. However, once past this, it's a classic tale of live, honour, murder and politics......more
