About this product

Product Information

Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. THE GOLDFINCH is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

  • Another fantastic book from Donna Tartt

    I read this already in kindle format but it has made such an impression on me that I wanted to read it again and have the real book to keep. Donna Tartt's writing is so good.

  • Simply the best book I have read.

    I am awestruck by the imagination of one woman to weave a story of one boy and a painting which reminds us how fragile life is and how, despite what we think, control over it is illusory.

  • Compelling read

    A compelling read of infinite proportions as we trace the adolescent agonies of the two main characters. The story cleverly interlaced with recovered art work manages to combine a powerful and well developed story in USA & Europe. The “Goldfinch”, was a long awaited book by Donna Tartt - she did not fail us!

  • The goldfinch

    An amazing journey you feel you are taking along with the protagonist. I felt every joy, sadness, heartbreak and abandonment. After reading I felt lost and not sure what to do with myself. This is possibly the best book I have ever read.

  • Will take some time to read but enjoying it so far

    IT is very good but different to what I usually read, it is very thick so will take me a while to finish it,

  • The Goldfinch — be lifted by its wings!

    An immersive literary experience, almost Victorian in scope and Dickensian in its attention to the tiniest quirk of detail. Tartt is that most unusual of figures — a writer’s writer who can speak directly to a reader’s heart
