"The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a
dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects
with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an
extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times Book ReviewTheo
Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident
that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the
family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park
Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and
tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one
thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating
painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.As
an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and
the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated
and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous
circle.The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing,
stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned
story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the
ruthless machinations of fate.
