The Goldfinch

Description

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION

Theo Decker, aged thirteen, is left alone in the world after surviving a catastrophe that kills his only close relative – his mother – and tears him away from everything he knows. Tormented by grief, drifting from home to home, he grows increasingly obsessed with a small, enchanting work of art which dominates his imagination and ultimately draws him, as an adult, into a much darker life than he could ever have foreseen.
