i do not know if this book has anything to add to the feminist movement or anything but i just love it. I read it a long time ago, it transformed me into a world that i would not dare go into in reality(mobsters and all that). I fell in love with Don Corleone. just recently, i experienced the thunderbolt i.e falling in love with someone regardless of your romantic status. It was a very nice experience for me but it was platonic. The guy in question was going to become a priest and i respected his values but it was worth every second.
