Owl Book Group
Friday January 31 | 10:30am-12pm
Cedar Mill Library

The Owls kick off the New Year with a discussion of The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt.

13-year-old Theo Decker miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home, disturbed by schoolmates who don’t know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into an insular art community.

From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this “soaring masterpiece” examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate.
