The Goldfinch

by Donna Tartt

After a childhood tragedy, Theo Decker clings to a stolen masterpiece painting as both talisman and burden. His odyssey through New York's elite circles and the Las Vegas underworld becomes a meditation on art, loss, and the obsessions that define us. Tartt weaves a sprawling tale of beauty and morality that asks what we choose to preserve when everything else falls away.
