Read about another entry on the list.Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
Late fall may be the perfect time to return to this block-busting novel, which you’ll recall was toast of the town twelve years ago. When the young Theo Decker swipes a painting off the Met’s wall in the panicky aftermath of a public attack, he sets strange things in motion. This book’s interested in the power of objects.

The Goldfinch is among Nathalie Kernot and Josiah Gogarty's fourteen best books about fatherhood, Nzinga Temu's eight action-packed titles about art heists, Kate Belli's six crime novels that revolve around art or the art world, Marisha Pessl's six favorite stories of suspense, and Sophie Ward's six best books.
