A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this extraordinary and beloved Pulitzer Prize winner that connects with the heart as well as the mind (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review).
Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into a wealthy and insular art community.
As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love -- and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this soaring masterpiece examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate (Ron Charles, Washington Post).

If you have not read that book yet, this is your sign to go ahead and buy it. Throughout the novel Donna Tartt kept me on tip toes eager to find out what‘s going to happen next, what tragic plans the universe has got in store for Theo and in what way the little goldfinch is flutters briefly before landing - once again - in the same helpless spot. It‘s fascinating how Donna Tartt manages to alter the genre of the book within only a couple of chapters. I do have to admit that I liked the first half / three quarters more than the end, yet it is undeniably an amazing must-read novel.
fantastisch

ich habe die Geschichte geliebt und bin ganz in ihr aufgegangen. sie ist rührend und traurig und tragisch und komisch und einfach eine unglaublich gute Erzählung an die ich oft zurückdenke. insbesondere für Leser zu empfehlen, die sich für Kunst interessieren und vielleicht schon mal in New York waren
