Can someone give me a brief description on what The Sicilian is about? Because I'm planning on buying when I finish The Godfather novel.
Whiel in Sicily in the 1940's Michael Corleone is asked by his father, Vito, to bring a Sicilian Bandit named Salvatore Giuliano back to America with him. Sal Giuliano became a bandit for the love of his people and to defend himself from CARBINIERI (Italian Police). Giuliano survives without the Mafia, but they are eager to have him on their side rather than the Carabineri. All Giuliano wants is to be free, and the Corleones try to get him into America, but it was not to be.
Michael Corleone guest-stars in this tale of the Sicilian Robin-Hood. Vito Corleone and Peter Clemenza make guest appearances, and we meet a Sicilian relative of one of the well-known Godfather Family members.
