{"subtitle": "a novel", "description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "\"The author of the classic bestsellers The Secret History and The Little Friend returns with a brilliant, highly anticipated new novel. A young boy in New York City, Theo Decker, miraculously survives an accident that takes the life of his mother. Alone and abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by a friend's family and struggles to make sense of his new life. In the years that follow, he becomes entranced by one of the few things that reminds him of his mother: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the art underworld. Composed with the skills of a master, The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America, and a drama of almost unbearable acuity and power. It is a story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the enormous power of art\"--\r\n\r\nAfter Theo survives an accident that takes the life of his mother, a small painting becomes his talisman and eventually leads him into the criminal underworld. The plot contains pervasive profanity, sexual references, graphic violence, and drug use."}, "full_title": "The goldfinch a novel", "key": "/books/OL26917978M", "authors": [{"key": "/authors/OL841112A"}], "subjects": ["Self-realization", "Loss (Psychology)", "Artists", "Large type books", "Young men", "Fiction"], "languages": [{"key": "/languages/eng"}], "pagination": "1240 pages (large print)", "source_records": ["marc:marc_openlibraries_sanfranciscopubliclibrary/sfpl_chq_2018_12_24_run05.mrc:2816520:4436", "bwb:9780316239875", "ia:goldfinchnovel0000tart", "amazon:0316239879"], "title": "The goldfinch", "notes": "Accelerated Reader UG 6.6 49 49 165262", "number_of_pages": 1240, "edition_name": "Large print edition.
