Novel by Edward Falco
The Family Corleone is a 2012 novel by Ed Falco, based on an unproduced screenplay by Mario Puzo, who died in 1999. It is the prequel to Puzo's The Godfather. It was published by Grand Central Publishing and released May 8, 2012. It is the fifth book published in The Godfather novel series but, being a prequel, it is chronologically set first, albeit after Chapter 14 of The Godfather (which recounts Vito Corleone's life from his childhood in Sicily to the beginnings of his criminal empire in New York City, filmed as the flashback sequences in The Godfather Part II). The novel, set in the Great Depression at the end of Prohibition, tells of how Vito Corleone consolidated his power to become the most powerful Don in New York City. Also, it tells of Sonny Corleone's inauguration into the family business and Tom Hagen's graduation from being an adopted member of the Corleone family before becoming the consigliere. The novel also reveals how Luca Brasi first became associated with the Corleones...
