Book o' the week: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. This book is not for the faint of heart. At over 700 pages, it follows the story of Theo Decker, a young boy who loses his mother and his life. Anchoring the story is Theo's obsession with the painting The Goldfinch and the outrageous choices he makes to protect it. The Goldfinch is a beautiful story and incredibly well written. If you're looking for good literature, definitely read it.
P.S. Vanity Fair's article about how critics aren't as enamored with The Goldfinch as readers are.
