THE GOLDFINCH: THEFT OF A PAINTING

Ten years after the worldwide success of Boyfriend, and twenty years after that of the Master of Deception, Donna Tartt is back with the Goldfinch, a haunted odyssey in America today.
Who is Theo? That it happened in New York to make it today, fourteen years later, cloistered in a hotel room in Amsterdam as a hunted animal? What happened to the young boy of thirteen who visited museums with his mother and led a life of ordinary schoolboy? Where does this painting master, The Goldfinch, he carries with him?

Both novel introduction to Dickens and eminently modern thriller, searching anxieties, fears and vices of contemporary America, The Goldfinch leaves the reader breathless, dazzled and again conquered by the extraordinary talent of Donna Tartt.
