THE GOLDFINCH: Donna Tartt
THE GOLDFINCH
by Donna Tartt
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize 2014
From the explosive opening chapter, I was fully immersed in this sprawling yet absorbingly detailed novel from the author of bestseller The Secret History. Despite the modern settlings of New York, Las Vegas and Amsterdam, this story of orphan Theo Decker’s coming of age contains echoes of Pip’s story in Great Expectations; except perhaps with a little more substance abuse. Absolutely a book to get lost in.
