The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
slow-paced
3.0
'The Goldfinch' is a story of a boy who lost his mother and how his life turned out after that fateful event.
The book is quite long, and I could see why people either love it or hate it. If you love Donna Tartt's writing style, then this one will work for you, as she creates an elaborate narrative with many small details and a beautifully melancholic atmosphere.
On the other hand, there is hardly any plot, as anything that happens is concentrated only in a few small passages, so if you are looking for a mystery or thriller like the one in her previous books, you will be disappointed.
Still, it's a good book with interesting characters and wonderful settings, as well as delicious twists when they appeared that is.
