I’m in love with this book 😍 It is such a rich, luxurious, electric, rewarding novel to read. 4.5 read for sure, with just a few very minor hangups. Wow wow wow, this book was a masterpiece! So good. What if one happens to be possessed of a heart that can’t be trusted–? What if the heart, for its own unfathomable reasons, leads one willfully and in a cloud of unspeakable radiance away from health, domesticity, civic responsibility and strong social connections and all the blandly-held common virtues and instead straight toward a beautiful flare of ruin, self-immolation, disaster?…If your deepest self is singing and coaxing you straight toward the bonfire, is it better to turn away? Stop your ears with wax? Ignore all the perverse glory your heart is screaming at you? Set yourself on the course that will lead you dutifully towards the norm, reasonable hours and regular medical check-ups, stable relationships and steady career advancement the New York Times and brunch on Sunday, all with the promise of being somehow a better person? Or…is it better to throw yourself head first and laughing into the holy rage calling your name?” The Secret History is also a favorite of mine and I think even better than the Goldfinch.“ Only here’s what I really, really want someone to explain to me.
But that wait seems to be worth it when she churns out novels that you think about for years.
That drew me in and the crazy story of Theo kept me reading it whenever I could.ĭonna Tarrt is known to release one novel per decade. It is a painting of a goldfinch peaking out through a ripped hole. I was drawn to The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt by its beautiful book cover. He also has to make it up to Hobie for what he has done and come to terms with his mother’s death, something that has shaped his relationships over the years. But it won’t be easy as he gets involved in the underground world of art. Now, Theo has to right a lot of wrongs that he has done. Boris shows up in his life again and reveals a shocking truth related to the painting Theo has hidden away for all those years. Eight years later, Theo is working for Hobie at his antique shop. He attends school and befriends Boris, a trouble making kid. Theo is taken in and lives with his friend and his wealthy family.
