The character building that the author, Donna Tartt, does in the pages of The Goldfinch is truly phenomenal. She beautifully weaves a story together with characters that are complex and relatable. I found myself feeling a wide array of emotions both cheering for characters or wanting to yell “no, don’t do that.” I really enjoyed the prose and storytelling in this book.
