The Goldfinch – Donna Tartt (Paperback)

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

After a sudden accident takes his mother's life, thirteen-year-old Theo Decker is taken in by the family of a wealthy schoolmate, adrift in a Park Avenue world he doesn't understand. The one thing that still connects him to his mother is a small, extraordinary painting — one that pulls him deeper into a secretive, high-stakes art world as he grows into adulthood.

Spanning decades and moving between the drawing rooms of the wealthy and the quiet backrooms of an antiques shop, The Goldfinch is a sweeping story of loss, love, and self-invention. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, it's widely regarded as a modern classic — a book readers describe as impossible to put down.

From Donna Tartt, celebrated author of The Secret History, this is a novel for readers who want to be fully swept into a story: emotionally rich, atmospheric, and unforgettable.
