The Good Mothers

You are born into it or marry in. Loyalty is absolute, bloodshed revered and you kill or go to your grave before betraying The Family. This code of omertà is how the 'Ndrangheta became the world's most powerful mafia. The Good Mothers is the story of the women who broke the silence.

Klappentext

The 'Ndrangheta mafia group's power and influence is coupled with a ruthless misogyny, viewed in 2009 by prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti as a potential thread to pull the 'Ndrangheta operation apart through seeking the cooperation of the trapped and exploited mafia wives and mothers. The story of what followed is given here in expansive and emotional detail.
