Daughter of a Montana gunsmith and closet Don Corleone disciple ("'The Godfather' is a film crammed with rules for living"), Sarah Vowell has written a delightful series of autobiographical stories which stretch across the immense landscape of the American scene.

Brilliantly smart, sharp and engaging, "Take the Cannoli" presents a writer with a truly irresistible voice.
