The Family is the Puzo's last book completed by companion Carol Gino and published by ReganBooks in October 2001. A majestic retelling of the story of the Borgias-the infamous family whose influence transformed Renaissance Italy-the novel was a consuming labor of love for Puzo through the last two decades of his life. The result is an unforgettable portrait of Italy's first great crime family-and a grand conclusion to one of the greatest writing careers of our time.
