kat_stein 's review for:

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

5.0

---

An incredibly moving, wrenching, rending novel. Sprawling and profound and deeply upsetting. The kind of novel I need to reread; but one that will have to wait. I think this one will gain significance over time. Just simply stunning. Makes you think about and examine a whole, vast spectrum of things, but Tartt’s writing about art itself seems particularly stunning and singular.
