WHAT TO READ

BY: MRS. MILLER

I've had this Pulitizer Prize-winning book on my shelf for nine years, ever since it was first published, but only recently picked it up after a BookTuber reminded me of its existence.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, follows 13-year-old Theo, whose entire life changes after a horrific explosion in an art museum kills his mother and turns him into an unwilling art thief.

Lots of drama ensues - grief, family changes, abuse, criminal activity, substance abuse, and more - as Theo navigates the new landscape of his life.

This book is smart, slow in a good way, and I will absolutely read Tartt's most recent bestseller, The Secret History.
