All Saints Day, 1985: Carmela Donitella, youngest in a large Sicilian-American family, learns her father’s dream of opening a orphanage is threatened by a local tough. Relying on the power of the family's magical tale about a cannoli, she tries to go it alone. Finally, she enlists the help of her older sisters, aka the Sister Mob. A comedy of errors ensues as they untangle the obstacle to their father’s dream and reveal the mystery of the last cannoli. Thanksgiving Day, 1985, brings together all the novel's threads—an African nun, AIDS-orphaned African children, an Upper Eastside socialite, a World War II widow, and a multitude of Sicilians, from both sides of the Atlantic. The Mystique of the Last Cannoli is a compelling look into Sicilian-American heritage and family bonds, as well as an engaging mystery, a tale woven with intrigue, love, and humor.
