Sort of a book question -- this book looks so cool!
She was black and a woman and a prosecutor, a graduate of Smith College and the granddaughter of slaves, as dazzlingly unlikely a combination as one could imagine in New York of the 1930s—and without the strategy she devised, Lucky Luciano, the most powerful Mafia boss in history, would never have been convicted.
But the question is, is it too *something* to get for my cousin who is a lawyer (not that kind of lawyer) and has a black husband (she is white)?
Also, if anyone would like to make book recommendations for my other relatives, I would greatly appreciate it! Still in the mix are a boy graduating from college this year, my diplomat cousin-in-law, and two kindergarten-ish girls.
For the kindergarten girls the Princess in Black series.
Jesse, I don't know if that book is too too for your cousin, but it looks fascinating.
Right? I want to read it.
