A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this “extraordinary” and beloved novel that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review), named a New York Times Best Book of the 21st Century.
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).
phasenweise etwas "zäh", aber sonst sehr gut

Was hat Ihnen am allerbesten an The Goldfinch gefallen?
Man ist sofort gefangen von der Geschichte. Obwohl der Roman wirklich lang ist, wird er nie langweilig, ist nie langatmig.Was mochten Sie an der Handlung am liebsten?
Ich mochte besonders, dass dieses Schicksal so authentisch erscheint - und dass es nicht nur bergab oder bergauf geht.Wie hat Ihnen David Pittu als Sprecher gefallen? Warum?
David Pittu ist ein großartiger Sprecher. Jede Person hat ihre eigene Stimme. Fantastisch!Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Mich hat nur das typisch amerikanische Ende ein bisschen gestört - aber das kann meine Begeisterung für diesen Roman nicht bremsen.Tolles Buch großartig erzählt
