The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt was my reading selection for April and now will be the selection for May as well. Sometimes life gets in the way of a good book so I am going to extend this book into May so that we can all enjoy it and not have to rush through it.
So far, this novel is beautifully written. It is lengthy and has a lot of description and detail; however, as you will see, the story requires it. Please join me in reading this Pulitzer Prize winning novel. I think it will be well worth the time.
By the way, it also features a famous painting (which I was unfamiliar with) and there is a great article written about the two…novel and painting (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/12/01/face-to-face-with-the-goldfinch-the-painting-from-donna-tartt-s-novel.html).
Happy reading my little book dragons!
Great idea. The Book is indeed, riveting, yet, it is quite long so the extension is very welcomed. Happy reading!
Agree! You can’t just read a little at a time…I need longer periods of time to get back into it.
