"It was a direct and matter-of-fact little creature, with nothing sentimental about it; and something about the neat, compact way it tucked down inside itself – its brightness, its alert watchful expression – made me think of the pictures I'd seen of my mother when she was small."
The 2014 Pulitzer Prize committee called THE GOLDFINCH "a beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters... a book that stimulates the mind and touches the heart." Readers thought so too: the title remained on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 30 weeks. A highly collectible limited edition.
