As some of you know, I met Mario Puzo and his companion CAROL GINO in 1996 at a Manhattan book signing for his novel, THE LAST DON. I was in contact with Carol often as I was compiling MarioPuzo.com in the '90s and we have kept in touch ever since. She's an author in her own right, so I was excited to hear that she'd written a memoir about their relationship as well as a glimpse into the mind of the master storyteller himself! It comes out OCT 15th so preorder now on Amazon at the link below! https://amzn.to/2Qj4MHgYou may also remember that Carol visited us here on the BB way back in Sep 2001 to answer questions about THE FAMILY, Mario's novel that she completed after he passed away.
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Was the Family a good read Geoff? I am definitely going to read the book you mentioned. The Family was quite interesting, and I think a good read.
