Summary:
Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch is a complex story about Theodore “Theo” Decker, a young boy who suffers the loss of his mother in a terrorist attack at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Disoriented during the attack, he takes the masterpiece The Goldfinch; this, along with the death of his mother, becomes the catalyst for a decade of adventure, sorrow, mystery, and redemption for Theo. As Theo matures, his mother’s absence and the presence of the painting prompt him to make extreme choices—even to the point of risking his life and safety. However, his tremendous vulnerability creates an opportunity for him to become incredibly strong, and all of the action culminates in a final shootout and forced exile in Amsterdam, followed by Theo’s temporary return to New York City before he sets out to travel the world. Throughout Theo’s adventures, the novel explores the meaning and purpose of art as well as love, friendship, and the pain of loss.
