Theo Decker， a 13-year-old New Yorker， miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father， Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue， disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him， and tormented above all by his longing for his mother， he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her： a small， mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. As an adult， Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing， ever more dangerous circle.

The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing， stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph， an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession， survival and self-invention， and the ruthless machinations of fate.

戴克今年十三歲，來自紐約。他在一場險象環(huán)生的意外中神秘逃生，但卻永遠失去了母親，后來又被父親拋棄，被一個富有的家庭收養(yǎng)。新的生活環(huán)境使他感覺不知所措，學校里的新同學們并不能使他敞開心扉，他日夜思念母親，只能訴諸于母親留下的一副神秘而令人神往的畫作。這副畫作最終將他引向了藝術(shù)的世界。長大之后，他過上了兩點一線的生活，每天來往于畫室跟工作的古玩店之間。他越發(fā)孤僻，將自己封閉在那個狹小又危險的圈子里。

《金翅雀》講述了一個引人入勝的故事，讓人愛不釋手，刻骨銘心。它講述了迷失與妄想、生存與自創(chuàng)，以及命運的無常。
