From the barren farms of Italy to the cramped tenements of New York, Lucia Santa - wife, widow and mother of two families - must steer them through the Depression and the early years of war as they adapt to life in a strange land. However, she cannot prevent the conflict between Italian and American values - nor the violence and bloodshed which must surely follow... 'I began reading The Fortunate Pilgrim yesterday afternoon and didn't stop reading until I had finished it.' Joseph Heller 'Puzo has written a chronicle of Italian immigrant life which is a small classic... The novel is lifted into literature by its highly charged language, its penetrating insights and its mixture of tenderness and rage.'
