Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.Тринадцатилетний Тео Декер, сын любящей матери и безрассудного отца, который практически отсутствует в его жизни, чудом остался жив после несчастного случая, кардинально изменившего его дальнейшую жизнь. Богатые родители школьного друга взяли мальчика-сироту на воспитание. Все эти годы его мучает невыносимая тоска по матери, и он не расстаётся с единственной вещью, которая больше всего напоминает ему о ней: с миниатюрной, но необычайно пленительной картиной, которая в конечном счёте вовлечёт мальчика в преступный мир. Повзрослев, Тео скользит между двумя мирами — гостиными богатых и пыльным лабиринтом антикварного магазинчика, где он работает. Он отчужден и влюблен, а его талисман, картина, ведёт его жизнь к центру опасного, сужающегося круга."Щегол" — это захватывающая драма, в которой сочетаются незабываемые яркие персонажи и волнующее напряжение, которое преследует читателя в процессе чтения.
