The Goldfinch lures its readers with a deafening flash into a study of art, culture and human experience. If you like to get lost in a good book, well, buhbye 👋. It's a beautifully written prose. Dark and profound. Unique and inimitable. Well worthy of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

It's earned itself a permanent spot on my bedside table and every night I'm drawn to read a poem. Or two. This book is very simply a beautiful way to pause and reflect upon our relationships and perspectives. A gentle reminder not to be fearful or attempt to be controlling. Don't we all need that from time to time?
