At 800 pages, it touches upon so many subjects that no summary of its story will ever do the book any justice.Īnd this is even less true than in the cases of some other “unsummarizable” books we’ve shared with you so far because The Goldfinch is written in an exceptionally beautiful and hauntingly inspiring prose. The Goldfinch is a coming-of-age tale told in retrospective first-person narration by its main protagonist, Theodore Decker. In addition, her short story “The Ambush” was included in the anthology Best American Short Stories 2006. Tartt won the WH Smith Literary Award for The Little Friend and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Goldfinch. Included in TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list in 2014, Tartt has authored only three novels, each of them lauded by critics and general readers alike: The Secret History, The Little Friend, and The Goldfinch.
