“The Goldfinch” is a captivating novel by American author Donna Tartt. Published in 2013, it won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and garnered other honors. The story revolves around Theodore Decker, a 13-year-old boy whose life takes a dramatic turn after surviving a terrorist attack at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the chaos, his mother is killed, and he ends up in possession of a small Dutch Golden Age painting titled “The Goldfinch” by Carel Fabritius.

The novel is a coming-of-age tale narrated in the first person. Theo, bewildered by grief and longing for his mother, clings to the mysterious and captivating painting. This artwork draws him into the underworld of art, where he discovers its significance and unravels secrets about its creator, Fabritius.

The painting itself is one of the few surviving works by Rembrandt’s promising pupil, Carel Fabritius, who tragically died in the Delft explosion of 1654. As Theo navigates his new life, he encounters intriguing characters, including the red-haired girl Pippa and the antiques dealer Hobie.

If you’re intrigued by art, mystery, and the human condition, “The Goldfinch” is a must-read.
