The Godmothers is a fiction novel set in Greenwich Village, New York. The author is Camille Aubray. This is a family saga starting before World War Two. There are four godmothers. One of them is the daughter of an Italian family who have ties to the mob. The other three are married to the three sons of the family. All of them have secrets known only to each other and they are sworn to secrecy. When one of the granddaughters mentions that her husband might get a job with Cyrus Vance, secretary of state under Jimmy Carter, she asks one of the godmothers if their family would pass a security clearance. This is when all the secrets are revealed. I enjoyed this story about four strong females looking out for each other and each other's offspring. The women were the strong ones in this family because they gradually moved the family business away from the mob to more law-abiding enterprises. I borrowed it from the Hennepin County library and it was really nice to read a physical book for a change.
