As the novel opens New Yorker Theodore Decker is thirteen years old living alone with his beloved mother, having been abandoned by his feckless, drunken father. On the way to a meeting at Theo—s school — to discuss his suspension — Theo and his mother end up at New York—s Metropolitan Museum. As they move through the galleries toward his mother—s favourite picture — The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius 1654 Theo catches sight of a young girl about his own age with bright red hair, and an elderly man Theo assumes is her grandfather (he—s her uncle in fact). In the moments before Theo—s life changes forever — he has no idea what impact these two strangers will have upon his life.
