It's time to pop on your tortoiseshell glasses and grab a plate of chicken wings, because we just read The Goldfinch, the (quite polarising) 2013 novel by Donna Tartt, and we can't WAIT to talk to you about it.
Set in New York, Las Vegas, and Amsterdam, this sprawling (read: quite long) novel follows Theo Decker, a 13-year-old whose life takes a sudden turn after a terrorist attack at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The book follows Theo's life as he discovers love, loss, and heaps of drugs, and it gave us a chest-on-chest full of things to talk about.
The Goldfinch is Laura's actual favourite book, so come and find out if it's as good as she remembered, if the rest of the gang were into it, and if our casting is as good as Hollywood's (of course it is, come on now).
Happy Listening!
