Overview

  • Random House, which shared the news through the Associated Press over the weekend, said bestselling author Adriana Trigiani will write Connie for a fall 2027 release.
  • Connie will center on Don Vito Corleone’s daughter and marks the first Godfather novel written from a woman’s point of view by a woman.
  • Anthony Puzo said the estate sought a new perspective and approached Trigiani after she wrote about the series’ overlooked women.
