Donna Tartt is an American writer who has achieved critical and public acclaim for her novels, which have been published in forty languages. Her first novel, The Secret History, was published in 1992. In 2003 she received the WH Smith Literary Award for her novel, The Little Friend, which was also nominated for the Orange Prize for Fiction. She won the Pulitzer Prize and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Fiction for her most recent novel, The Goldfinch.
"The Goldfinch is a book about art in all its forms, and right from
the start we remember why we enjoy Donna Tartt so much: the humming
plot and elegant prose; the living, breathing characters; the
perfectly captured settings....Joy and sorrow exist in the same
breath, and by the end The Goldfinch hangs in our stolen
heart."--Vanity Fair
"The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen
times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects
with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an
extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times
Book Review
"A long-awaited, elegant meditation on love, memory, and the
haunting power of art....Eloquent and assured, with memorable
characters....A standout-and well-worth the wait."--Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
"A soaring masterpiece."--Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Dazzling....[A] glorious, Dickensian novel, a novel that pulls
together all Ms. Tartt's remarkable storytelling talents into a
rapturous, symphonic whole and reminds the reader of the immersive,
stay-up-all-night pleasures of reading."--Michiko Kakutani, New
York Times
"It's a classic...If you haven't read it, read it. If you have,
read it again."--Andy Cohen, Today Show
"Where to begin? Simply put, I'm indescribably jealous of any
reader picking up this masterpiece for the first time. And once
they do, they will long remember the heartrending character of Theo
Decker and his unthinkable journey."--Sarah Jessica Parker for Goop
