A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this "extraordinary" and beloved Pulitzer Prize winner that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review). Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into a wealthy and insular art community. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love -- and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this "soaring masterpiece" examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate (Ron Charles, Washington Post).

4.5 (Muito bom)

analise ??? nn sei

muito muito bommm, primeiro livro em inglês q eu li e meu top livro favorito!! o theo é um personagem muito identificável e o jeito q os sentimentos dele são escritos é simplesmente incrível. acho q meus personagens favoritos são o theo mesmo e a pippa, q também é muito bem escrita. o plot da pintura em si e todos os outros q saem dele são incríveis e todos os personagens também!!! achei bem interessante a conexão q o theo descreve com a pippa e com o boris, e o contraste da relação dele com eles, e quando o theo descobre q o boris roubou a pintura a reação dele foi muito real. achei infinitas vezes melhor q o filme (q por alguma razão apagou a personagem da kotku/kayley ???) e é um livro incrível se vc quer usar bastante o cérebro
