À propos de ce contenu audio

 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.©2013 Tay Ltd.

    Another rich slice of gothic drama (Books of the Year)
    Combines narrative grandeur with dazzling detail (Books of the Year)
    Sublimely written, with elegant touches of the gothic (Books of the Year)
    Really does grip from the first page... a noirish thriller and epic love story rolled into one (Books of the Year)
    Runs the gamut from thriller to meditation on loss, and runs it magnificently (Books of the Year)
    A soaring masterpiece
    The Goldfinch is a triumph... Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction
    Sumptuous, generous and entirely captivating (Books of the Year)
    Dazzling. A glorious, Dickensian novel that pulls together all Tartt's remarkable storytelling talents into a rapturous, symphonic whole and reminds the reader of the immersive, stay-up-all-night pleasures of reading
    An astonishing achievement. If anyone has lost their love of storytelling, The Goldfinch will most certainly return it to them. The last few pages of the novel take all the serious, big, complicated ideas beneath the surface and hold them up to the light. Not for Tartt the kind of clever riffs which are too commonly found in contemporary fiction. Instead, when plot comes to an end, she leads us to a place just beyond it - a place of meaning
    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
    Lavish and lush in décor and span... The novel lets us see, and feel, the real bird beyond the brush, or rather, the grief, and addictive yearning, behind its cabinet of curiosities. For those who want to share the double vision, to slip attentively between luxurious illusion and overt craftiness, a deeper layer of pleasure awaits in The Goldfinch. In every sense, this is quite a piece of work (Boyd Tonkin)
    In the epic range of its concerns with grief, loss, loneliness, fate, and the nature of good and evil, its rich cast of characters, and its broad social canvas, it bears comparison with Proust, Dickens, Dostoevsky and Nabokov. It is meticulously structured and paced, and reading it is an enthralling experience of total immersion in Tartt's vision and voice. A beautiful and important book (Elaine Showalter)
    A gripping page-turner and a challenging, beautifully written account of modern life. Moving but unsentimental, funny without being trite, all human life is here. It will doubtless be a contender for one of 2013's best novels (James Kidd)

    I was expecting a fiction book about a stolen famous painting full of action and investigations. So I was first disappointed, then (after 300 pages) started to really appreciate the book. I found the story deep, captivating and at many occasions very funny. I loved the charachters of Boris and Hobie ! the audio version is a success

    Nice book

    Endless descriptions of irrelevant details. I had to abandon this book after a few hours for my own sanity.

    Difficult to connect with main character with the unrealistic situations he finds himself in and his super recall of mind numbing details, like the names and jobs of staff of empty desks he passes while escaping from a bombed museum, through an emergency exit that no one saw him exiting despite entire fire department being present.

    too descriptive, slow moving predictable story
