Donna Tartt Book order (chronological)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2014 Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

Pursuing a murderer who has escaped into Indian Territory, U.S. Marshal Rooster J. Cogburn teams up with a bounty-hunting Texas Ranger and Mattie Ross, a cantankerous young lady who is bent on revenge.

Donna Tartt have wrote this little story among other authors from the dutch publisher." 'Ik droomde van Nimmerland, van Disneyland, van Oz en van andere landen die helemaal geen naam hadden, met sprekende beren en zwaanprinsen. Soms ving ik, in de slaperige gloed van de gaskachel, een glimp op van het kampvuur van Huck en Tom, daar op hun zandbank in de Mississippi. En soms veranderde 's nachts het gerammel van een langsrijdende vrachtwagen in de logge tred van een dinosaurus die, met zijn kop boven de telefoondraden, kwam aansjokken door de maanovergoten verlaten straten.'
