Fiction Family Life
Jim Fusilliโs new novel takes place in the years surrounding World War II in the dangerous immigrant neighborhood of Narrows Gate, overlooking the Hudson River, where anything can happenโand it usually does. Sal Benno is a neighborhood kid who doesnโt take to school but is able to provide the favors the Mafia needs, a skill that brings him into their inner circle and closer to ultimate danger. His lifelong friend Leo Bell sticks by Sal through thick and thin, but harbors a dangerous secret that could either keep Sal aliveโor bring his life to an abrupt end. In the middle of it is Billy โBebeโ Marsala, a hugely popular and handsome crooner who becomes a pawn in a mob war that could destroy them all. A novel that rekindles the spirit of such groundbreaking works as Mario Puzoโs The Godfather and Budd Schulbergโs On the Waterfront, Narrows Gate is a powerful, epic saga that captures the heart of the immigrant experienceโand the soul of America.
