About The Goldfinch
The title of The Goldfinch refers to one of the few surviving paintings by Carel Fabritius, a pupil of Rembrandt. The painting is stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York by 13-year-old Theo Decker in the aftermath of the terrorist attack that kills his mother. In the years that follow, Theo is sent to live with his abusive alcoholic father, becomes friends with Boris, who has had a similarly troubled upbringing, and is gradually drawn into the criminal underworld. The Goldfinch was both a critical and commercial success, topping bestseller lists around the world and winning multiple literary prizes.
