  • Sweeping study of personal despair and redemption

    Justin M. - 7 years 5 months ago

    Arriving at the scene a couple of years late, I was nevertheless swept away (as so many others have been before me) by Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, a modern day epic journey of introspection and self-discovery. The story follows Theo Decker, a New York City youth who loses his mother in a terrorist attack, as he overcomes nearly insurmountable obstacles and setbacks to discover what it really means to be human and alive. The novel transcends time and place to reveal to the reader certain existential truths that we don't often confront in our daily lives. Highly recommended.

  • Tartt Paints a Beautiful Picture of a Stolen Painting

    Lauren S. - 8 years 2 months ago

    The Goldfinch is a richly woven tale of truly flawed characters and the possibilities and complexities of redemption. Teenage protagonist Theo Decker loses his mother and steals a painting in a museum explosion in the opening pages of the novel and struggles with this loss and his ownership of the painting as he grows into an uneasy adulthood. Tartt paints each of her characters in a remarkably realistic light, which she shines brightly on their deeply imperfect yet beautiful humanity. If you like The Goldfinch, I recommend The Secret History, also by Tartt, and fellow Pulitzer Prize winning novel All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
