While You Are On Hold For . . .
The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt
Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A young boy in New York City, Theo Decker, miraculously survives the accident that takes the life of his mother. Alone and abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by a friend's family and struggles to make sense of his new life. In the years that follow, he becomes entranced by one of the few things that reminds him of his mother: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the art underworld.
