中文简介：The Goldfinch《金翅雀》是美国作家唐娜·塔特的小说。这部小说是用第一人称讲述。主人公，13岁的西奥多·德克尔，在一个艺术博物馆的恐怖袭击中幸存下来，他的母亲死了。他摇摇晃晃地穿过废墟，随身带着一幅荷兰黄金时代的小油画《金翅雀》。这幅画是伦勃朗最有前途的学生卡雷尔·法布里修斯的少数现存作品之一。

英文简介：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.
