Donna Tartt Books Goodreads. Shouldn’t our children be more so? I often tell people that donna tartt’s pulitzer prize winning novel the goldfinch (2013) is my favorite book—and it’s true.
Tartt was the 2003 winner of the wh smith literary award for the little friend. One of the reasons they were there was to see one of her favorite paintings, the goldfinch.

I read the goldfinch by donna tartt a few years ago and liked it just fine, so i decided to give the secret history a try and see what everyone was always babbling about.
Apart from the long nights, early and dark mornings i spent lost in this underground universe tartt creates, this passage at the very end is what really sent my mind twirling and sent shivers up my spine. Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite new england college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries.
