Imagine The Sopranos transplanted to the French countryside…. This thrillingly comic, internationally bestselling Mafia farce is the inspiration for the major motion picture The Family starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones, and produced by Martin Scorsese. The Blakes are newcomers to a small town in Normandy. Fred is a historian researching the Allied landings, Maggie enjoys charity work, and their kids are looking forward to meeting other teenagers at the local lycée. Or so it seems. In fact, Fred is really Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-goodfella turned stool pigeon who’s been relocated from New Jersey to France by the FBI’s witness protection program. He’s got a two-million-dollar bounty on his head, but he and his family can’t help attracting attention (imagine the Sopranos in Normandy). And when imprisoned mobster Don Mimino gets wind of their location, it’s Mafia mayhem à la Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper, or like The Godfather as if written by Carl Hiaasen. Because while you can take the man out of the Mafia, you can’t take the Mafia out of the man.

Un couple de Français en cavale à travers les Etats-Unis se rend dans un théâtre, au risque de se faire arrêter, pour y voir jouer un classique : Les mariés malgré eux. La pièce raconte comment, au Moyen Age, un braconnier et une glaneuse éperdument amoureux refusent de se soumettre aux lois de la communauté et se retrouvent condamnés à morts. Mais bien vite, au fil de la représentation, les mystérieux spectateurs recherchés par la police et les héros de la pièce se confondent, jusqu'à former un seul et même couple, ayant traversé les époques et les continents… Palais des Mille et une Nuits, forêts enchantées, asile de fous, des steppes de l'Asie à la jungle sud-américaine, sur les océans déchaînés ou dans un paradis québécois, ces amants-là devront à nouveau affronter tous les périls et braver tous les interdits pour vivre enfin leur passion au grand jour. Tonino Benacquista livre ici un roman d'aventures haletant et drôle qui interroge la manière dont se transmettent les légendes : l'essence même du romanesque.
