The Fortunate Pilgrim

“The Fortunate Pilgrim” by Mario Puzo is a poignant and often overlooked gem in the author’s repertoire. Published in 1965, the novel is a departure from Puzo’s later crime fiction, offering a rich and immersive portrait of Italian-American immigrant life in the Bronx during the early 20th century. At its heart is Lucia Santa, a resilient matriarch navigating the challenges of assimilation, poverty, and the complex dynamics of family. Puzo’s masterful storytelling paints a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs of the Santa family, providing a nuanced exploration of the American Dream and the cost of achieving it. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.22, kg Written_By: Mario, Puzo Publisher: Arrow, Books, Ltd Book Type: Fiction Categories: Classic, Fiction Best For: Immigrant, family's, American, journey.
