Chapter 32 Summary

After a year, Michael Corleone is the most powerful Don in the United States. He decides to move forward on shutting down the family’s New York operation and moving out west. Connie, who already has a new husband, tells Kay that her accusations against Michael were just hysteria. Kay converts to Catholicism, and she and her children enjoy living in Nevada. Michael seems to be a more legitimate businessman in Nevada, and Kay is glad that they are moving away from New York. On the last morning before they move, Kay and Carmella Corleone go to church. At church every morning, for just that amount of time, Kay allows herself to confront the truth of her husband’s life, and the lies he has told her. After he lied to her about Carlo’s death, she left him. Tom Hagen visited her and told her the truth about Carlo’s death, and also told her what she needed to know in order to understand the decisions that Michael made. After a week, she returned to Michael and began the process of converting to Catholicism. She attends daily mass with Carmella to pray for Michael’s soul.
