Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2014Aged 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.

Oliver Twist møter Breaking Bad i nervepirrende og dypt rørende langleser fra Donna Tartt. Tenåringen Theo Decker får livet snudd på hodet da moren blir drept i et terrorangrep ved et kunstgalleri i New York. Theo overlever mirakuløst og får på forunderlig vis med seg Carel Fabritius' lille mesterverk fra 1654, Stillitsen, ut av ruinene. Theo beholder bildet i all hemmelighet, mens han blir trukket mellom en velstående og dysfunksjonell New York-familie, sin egen alkoholiserte far og den hjertevarme antikvitetshandleren Hobie. Dette er startpunktet for den utrolige historien om Theos liv over en periode på 15 år, der fascinerende karakterer og dramatiske vendinger kommer som perler på en snor, og hvor de mange trådene nøstes opp på elegant og overraskende vis etter en eventyrlig reise gjennom sorg, spenning, kjærlighet og menneskelig drama. «The Goldfinch er en sjeldenhet som bare kommer et par ganger hvert tiår.» Stephen King, New York Times Book Review «En roman som konsentrerer Tartts oppsiktsvekkende fortellerevner i et henførende hele som minner leseren på hvilken altoppslukende glede det kan være å lese hele natten.» New York Times

Soon to be a major motion picture-Stephen King's terrifying classic. 'They float...and when you're down here with me, you'll float, too.' To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . . The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive? Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine.
