The Family

fullDescription

The Instant New York Times bestseller
A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick
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. Their hearts expand in tandem with Red Hook and Brooklyn around them, 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.

     July 19, 2021
     In this nicely written but slow-moving debut, two fierce heroines, daughters of mobsters, come of age in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, in the 1930s and ’40s. First-generation Sicilian American Sofia Colicchio grows up learning that “Family is everything.” It’s a bitter pill. When her best friend Antonia Russo’s father, Carlo, is caught skimming the books and “disappeared,” Antonia becomes even more dependent on the “Family” that killed her father, as it provides for her and her mother. As the power of Sofia’s father, Joey, grows, so does Sofia’s attraction to seizing power of her own, though there’s no place for women in the organization, while Antonia tries to distance herself from the Family. Krupitsky follows Sofia and Antonia from early childhood through marriage and motherhood as each fight to carve out their independence and sense of self, and Antonia faces months of postpartum depression. Their experiences are shaped by WWII and a country where immigrants like Joey absorb such messages as “stay with your own kind; take the jobs we do not want,” forcing them to carve out their own version of an “American dream” that must be “gleaned, bought or stolen.” While a violent showdown at the end involving Sofia and Antonia feels jarring, Krupitsky beautifully captures their day-to-day lives under never-ending tension. The women’s rich stories make this worthwhile. Agent: Dana Murphy, Book Group.

   • content: Marin Ireland deftly narrates Krupitsky's debut novel, which traces the lives of two Italian-American girls born into 1920s-era Mafia families. Sofia and Antonia, best friends since birth, know that the Family offers them comfort and financial stability but that it is also capable of destroying everything they hold dear. Ireland skillfully captures the rhythms and flavors of the neighborhood as the girls grow from na�ve children to knowing adults. Ireland ratchets up the tension by introducing a grittier tone that mirrors the women's increasingly complicated lives. She excels at bringing out the emotional undercurrents of this novel--the suppressed violence, the clenched words, and the sobering knowledge that comes with adulthood. Listeners will be captivated by this story of friendship and self-discovery amid ever-present menace. S.A.H. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
