He is also the loving father of four children, two of whom become pawns in their father’s implacable drive for power. Cardinal Roderigo Borgia is charismatic and handsome, a born leader and a perfidious man of the cloth who ascends to the papacy as Pope Alexander VI in 1492, when Italian city-states are competing for land and the Vatican is competing for souls. Fast-paced and well researched, The Family - in its effort to make such scandalous characters as the Borgias more human - may well be the most ambitious novel of Puzo’s career. Set in Rome in the last years of the 15th century, Puzo’s final book (completed by Gino, his companion for many years) is an absorbing, highly entertaining, fictional account of the rise and rule - and eventual fall - of that notorious first family of dysfunction during the Renaissance, the Borgias.
