“An impressively forthcoming reminiscence full of creative insight. Much of the remembrance recounts captivating conversations between the author and Puzo, which provide an extraordinarily candid look at the man and his work."
KIRKUS REVIEWS
“I adored Mario Puzo and know why he adored Carol Gino. If you want to know what love is, read this and weep.”
JUDITH REGAN
Publisher
“These two unique souls make a union like no other. . . . It should be hard to capture this dynamic on the page...except Carol does it here so effortlessly. I knew both as writers but never knew what a love story they lived together. Until now.”
JONI EVANS
Literary Agent
“Carol Gino, the other half of the Mario and Carol duo, has written a luminous portrait of the enchantment that happens when two people love deeply, work together on all levels and co-create wonders of living and invention.”
JEAN HOUSTON
Author of The Wizard of Us
"Gino delivers a readable, intimate look at an important figure in 20th century popular culture. Puzo fans will appreciate this book, as will anyone interested in how two strong personalities can flourish together."
BLUEINK REVIEW
"Dialogue carries much of the narrative and is continually interesting and revealing. Puzo is recalled discussing how he bluffed his way to a big payday for screenwriting. Lively conversations are reproduced with revealing disclosures, including about the underlying motivations behind some of Puzo’s most memorable creations . . . Puzo’s many tips on writing punctuate the couple’s time together."
