The Godmother

Meet Patience Portefeux – 53 years old, widowed mother of two, fluent Arabic speaker, upstanding French citizen… and soon to become `The Godmother`.For 25 years she has toiled honestly, translating police wire-taps of north African drug gangs. She knows she`s just a footsoldier in a senseless politicians` war against high-grade hashish, a tiny cog in the state machinery of racism and repression. But it`s always paid the bills – until now.The scrimping French state pays its translators `off the books`, meaning there`ll be no pension to reward her long years of service. With her mother`s extortionate care home eating her savings, a lonely and impoverished old age lies ahead. So when Patience gets the chance to take possession of a vast stash of top-quality Moroccan Khardala, she doesn`t hesitate long. Exit the grey-suited civil servant. Enter `The Godmother`. Life in the banlieues will never be the same again.
