Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
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.
This one is my personal favorite for the week. It's hilarious, insightful, and infuriating. Just like the website. There's a reason these ladies rule the internet. Check out this excellent write up from The Huffington Post. And don't miss Anna Holmes and Lindy West at Town Hall on November 7th!
And some other old favorites!
We Are Water by Wally Lamb
Sycamore Row by John Grisham
