RaveThe Toronto Star (CAN)Pupetta’s story anchors a unique look at organized crime and the underworld that Rome-based journalist Nadeau reveals: the lives of women in organized crime and the underworld. That perspective makes The Godmother unique and refreshing for this genre, and raises intriguing questions about women’s roles ... Approaching her subject with a keen eye and a sense of dark humour, Nadeau writes a compelling and entertaining narrative ... Nadeau is also attuned to the absurd ... The world of organized crime is so often portrayed in macho terms, Nadeau pulls back the curtain on the role of women. In a genre choked with pretenders and posers, this is the real thing. The Godmother hits its mark.
