Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2014

At 13 years old, Theo Decker, the son of a devoted mother and an unpredictable, mostly absent father, survives an accident that would otherwise shatter his life. Alone and directionless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, over the years he clings to the object that reminds him most of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that eventually draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to navigate between the realms of the wealthy and the dusty antique store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the center of an increasingly dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a haunting odyssey in modern America and a dramatic tale of thrilling power. Combining unforgettable, vivid characters and compelling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - an epic story of loss and obsession, survival and self-creation, the deepest mysteries of love, identity, and fate.
