Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

Тринадцатилетний Тео Декер, сын преданной матери и безрассудного, практически отсутствующего отца, переживает несчастный случай, который разрушает его жизнь. Одинокий и лишенный управления в Нью-Йорке, его принимает семья богатого друга. Его мучает невыносимая тоска по матери, и с годами он цепляется за то, что больше всего напоминает ему о ней: маленькую, странно увлекательную картину, которая в конечном итоге втягивает его в преступный мир. Подрастая, Тео учится лавировать между гостиными богатых людей и пыльным антикварным магазином, где он работает. Он отчужден и влюблен – а его талисман, картина, ставит его в центр сужающегося, все более опасного круга. «Щегол» — это захватывающая одиссея по современной Америке и драма захватывающей силы. Сочетая в себе незабываемо ярких персонажей и волнующее ожидание, это прекрасный, захватывающий триумф - захватывающая история потерь и одержимости, выживания и самоизобретения, глубочайших загадок любви, личности и судьбы.Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart.

'Haunting, Compelling, Brilliant' The Times 'It takes my breath away, it is so accomplished' Ruth Rendell 'Excellent; Donna Tartt has discovered not the usual collegiate mix of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but a heart of darkness as stony and chilling as any Greek tragedian ever plumbed.
