Vito Corleone in Mario Puzo’s The GodfatherRead about the other entries on the list.
Patriarch of the Corleone crime family and Mafia empire, Don Corleone ... is a family man through and through. His assertion that “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man" is sound parenting advice. Yet his mafia affinity with organised crime and corruption places his children in danger and results in two of their deaths.
The Godfather is one of Jackie Collins' six best books and five best literary guilty pleasures. It appears on Alice-Azania Jarvis's reading list on the Mafia and Will Dean's brief reading list on family dynasties.
