Thirteen-year-old Theo Decker, the son of a careless father who is seldom there and a loving mother, escapes an accident that might otherwise destroy his life. He finds refuge with the family of a rich acquaintance in New York after being lost and alone. Over the years, he has become obsessed with a little, oddly alluring picture that finally pulls him into the realm of crime because he is plagued by an intolerable need for his mother. Growing up, Theo learns how to move effortlessly between the wealthy people's drawing rooms and the dingy antiques shop where he works. He is in love but also estranged, and his painting serves as a talisman, drawing him closer to the core of an increasingly perilous circle.
The Goldfinch is a powerful drama with a haunting journey across contemporary America. It is a stunning, captivating accomplishment that combines unforgettable characters with gripping suspense. It is a broad tale of obsession and loss, of survival and self-invention, and of the greatest questions surrounding love, identity, and destiny.
