About the Novel: Hailed as “Elena Ferrante meets Big Little Lies”, THE GODMOTHERS is an irresistible, suspenseful novel about four remarkable women from very different backgrounds who are united by marriage in an elegant, prosperous Italian family, and then must take charge of the family’s business when their husbands are forced to leave them during World War II. Each woman has a secret from her past that threatens her plans for the future. But they must put aside their differences to protect their family from the likes of Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia. With both fictional and real-life characters, THE GODMOTHERS is a joyfully evocative story following one family through the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
