My point is that the novel has numerous inconsistenties about character ages and should therefore be taken with a huge pine of salt when it comes to establishing an accurate timeline.
So you don't think that Tom and Sonny are the same age as is stated in the novel? You are skeptical of that?
I'm saying that if they're the same age, then both are born in 1916 rather than 1910. I think it's kind of ridiculous that Sonny would be born in 1910, Fredo in 1915, Michael in 1920 and Connie some years later. We are to believe that Vito and Carmela only got together every five years? Or did Carmela have numerous misscarrieges in between?
