________________________________________________________ A
captivating debut novel about the tangled fates of two best friends
and daughters of the Italian mafia, and a coming-of-age story of
twentieth-century Brooklyn itself. Two daughters. Two families. One
inescapable fate. Sofia Colicchio is a free spirit, loud and
untamed. Antonia Russo is thoughtful, ever observing the world
around her. Best friends since birth, they live in the shadow of
their fathers' unspoken community: the Family. Sunday dinners
gather them each week to feast, discuss business, and renew the
intoxicating bond borne of blood and love. But the disappearance of
Antonia's father drives a whisper-thin wedge between the girls as
they grow into women, wives, mothers, and leaders. And as they push
against the boundaries of society's expectations and fight to
preserve their complex but life-sustaining friendship, one fateful
night their loyalty to each other and the Family will be tested.
Only one of them can pull the trigger before it's too late. For
fans of Elena Ferrante and Maggie O'Farrell, The Family introduces
a stunning new voice in literary fiction. 'A tense, engrossing
novel'Booklist, starred review 'A riveting story powerful in its
realism' Diane Chamberlain, author of Big Lies in a Small Town 'A
tremendous debut' Fiona Davis, author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue
'Loyalty, love, loss and redemption take this well told tale to a
searing conclusion' Adriana Trigiani 'Krupitsky beautifully
captures Sofia and Antonia's day-to-day lives under never-ending
tension' Publishers Weekly 'Fast-paced and readable' Kirkus Reviews
'A nuanced evocation of lifelong female friendship in all its
shifting, messy, gorgeous complexity' Whitney Scharer, author of
The Age of Light 'Lyrical, gripping, and richly evocative'
Christina Schwarz, author of Drowning Ruth and Bonnie 'Sweeping and
consuming' Susie Orman Schnall, author of We Came Here to Shine 'A
powerful story of friendship and loyalty...exquisite' Jennifer S.
