Puzo called her "shrewish." So, I suppose Carlo was involved in "The Taming of the Shrew."
That's it! Exactly the passage I was thinking of, TB.
Puzo could be a real asshole at times. I think he had a little self-hate in him. If you read "The Fortunate Pilgrim" from an Italian American's point of view, you'll know what I mean. He gave us "The Godfather." I'm just sayin'.
