Question: The word Consigliere was popularized by a novel written by which author ?

Context paragraphs:
Consigliere: Consigliere (Italian "consigliere" "counselor", pronounced ] , roughly ; plural "consiglieri") is a position within the leadership structure of the Sicilian, Calabrian and American Mafia.  The word was popularized by the novel "The Godfather" (1969) and its film adaptation.  In the novel, a consigliere is an advisor or counselor to the boss, with the additional responsibility of representing the boss in important meetings both within the boss's crime family and with other crime families.  The consigliere is a close, trusted friend and confidant, the mob's version of an elder statesman; he is an adviser to the boss in a Mafia crime family, and sometimes is his 'right-hand man'.  In some depictions, he is devoid of ambition and dispenses disinterested advice.  This passive image of the consigliere does not correspond with what little is known of real-life consiglieri, however.  By the very nature of the job, a consigliere is one of the few in the family who can argue with the boss, and is often tasked with challenging the boss when needed, to ensure subsequent plans are foolproof.

Amelia (novel): Amelia is a sentimental novel written by Henry Fielding and published in December 1751.  It was the fourth and final novel written by Fielding, and it was printed in only one edition while the author was alive, although 5,000 copies were published of the first edition.  "Amelia" follows the life of Amelia and Captain William Booth after they are married.  It contains many allusions to classical literature and focuses on the theme of marriage and feminine intelligence, but Fielding's stance on gender issues cannot be determined because of the lack of authorial commentary discussing the matter.  Although the novel received praise from many writers and critics, it received more criticism from Fielding's competition, possibly resulting from the "paper war" in which the author was involved.
