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 omert is how the 'Ndrangheta became the worlds most powerful mafia. The Good Mothers is the story of the women who broke the silence.

How fitting that we had chicken alfredo tonite (fr Costco!), as I finished this very informative & eye opening account about both the structure & undoing of the Calabraian mafia, the Ndrangheta.

Although it's written in a very journalistic style, & therefore felt a bit detached & dry at times in its delivery, the subject matter is fascinating & I learned a great deal!

😴...🍧📖📲🌜🛏🌛
#Readathon #ReverseReadathon #BooksInBed #BookClubPick #Snacks

Starting to get 😴 so I'm hopping into bed with my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor.

🤫But shhhhh... the beau is working late & he doesn't know I'm going to eat in 🛏. 🙊😏

Time to try & make some headway in my book club book that's on my phone- I hate reading digitally but the library hold list was too long & I need to finish this baby by next Friday.

Pretty fitting that the beau & I went out for Italian tonight, the same day that I started my book club's current pick which deals with the Italian mafia & how some very brave women & mothers put their lives on the line & took them on. 🙆🏻‍♀️💪💁‍♀️

I can already tell this is not going to be your average #TrueCrime book, and I am ALL IN❣

Happy #EveningReading Littens!📖🤓
