The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, 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 on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the Kamchatka peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, two girls - sisters, eight and 11 - go missing. In the ensuing weeks, then months, the police investigation turns up nothing. Echoes of the disappearance reverberate across a tightly woven community, with the fear and loss felt most deeply among its women. Taking us through a year in Kamchatka, Disappearing Earth enters with astonishing emotional acuity the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother.

What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.

When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that's to come. By 2016, their four daughters are each in a state of unrest: Wendy soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator-turned-stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie. Above it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents'.

But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes "interesting" - the last thing she ever wanted to be.

Most children go through a dinosaur phase. Learning all the tongue-twisting names, picking favourites based on ferocity, armour, or sheer size. For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite. For all those child dino fanatics who didn’t grow up to become paleontologists, dinosaurs seem like something out of mythology. They are dragons, pictures in books, abstract, other, extinct.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer.

It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

The last two hours was interesting

Publisher's Summary
For Harriet, who has grown up largely unsupervised, in a world of her own imagination, her brother is a link to a glorious past she has only heard about in stories. Fiercely determined, precocious far beyond her 12 years, and steeped in the adventurous literature of Stevenson, Kipling, and Conan Doyle, she resolves, one summer, to solve the murder and exact her revenge. Harriet's sole ally in this quest, her friend Hely, is devoted to her, but what they soon encounter has nothing to do with child's play: it is dark, adult, and all too menacing.
A revelation of familial longing and sorrow, The Little Friend explores crime and punishment, as well as the hidden complications and consequences that hinder the pursuit of truth and justice. A novel of breathtaking ambition and power, it is rich in moral paradox, insights into human frailty, and storytelling brilliance.
Critic Reviews
"An exceptionally suspenseful, flawlessly written story fairly teeming with outsize characters and roiling emotion." (Booklist, Starred Review)
"Tartt's second novel confirms her talent as a superb storyteller, sophisticated observer of human nature and keen appraiser of ethics and morality." (Publishers Weekly)
"A ruthlessly precise reckoning of the world as it is...filtered through the bright colors and impossible demands of childhood perception." (The New York Times Book Review)

WAYYYYY too abridged!
Any additional comments?
Editing 23 hours down to 6 hours means basically you're just listening to someone read a long list of chapter titles! It's a pity, too, because Donna Tartt reads it SO much better than that awful overdramatic warbling uptalker who reads the full version. Even Tartt's version of narration wasn't perfect though--it was very fast, she rushed through it--it sounds like she reads the whole thing as the character Edie! (OMG, is Edie based on herself?) Anyway. Off to go download and listen to the whole book / brave the other narrator.
I like this book, though. Harriet is fantastic, and the atmosphere is lovely.

Couldn't put it down!
(Can you say that about an audiobook?) I don't understand the negative reviews of this, my boyfriend and I brought it along on a trip to Montreal and found it fascinating. Maybe you need a long stretch of time to listen to it. Donna Tartt has a wonderful reading voice with an ear for accents that brings every character to life. The story is a very moving coming-of-age tale with a lot of touches of dark humor that make for a compulsively listenable story.

A Real Snoozer
I made it through the entire book. I'm not sure why. This book was so descriptive, that there was little space for anything else. Just when it started to get interesting, it ended. What a terrible ending ... it just dropped off. You never found out who or why made this story take place in the first place. I don't want to ruin it for others by giving too much away ... but unless you can handle total boredom, I'd make another choice.

ABRIDGED MEANS SHORTEN
This audiobook is shorten to 6 hours rather than the entire 20 hours. If you would rather go about this than listen to the entire audiobook, I would recommend you review chapter summaries on Google because this audio cuts out plenty of important details that are key to the plot.

Skip It, Read The Goldfinch
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The audiobook was well-narrated and the author's vaguely accented southern voice for me, contributed to the authenticity of the novel. Altogether, however, the novel felt unsatisfactory. Having read her other two books, The Goldfinch (winner of a Pulitzer) and The Secret History (which she wrote in college, and initially garnered her attention from readers), I felt that The Little Friend was lackluster and disappointing, especially in juxtaposition.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was disappointed. I felt the ending gave us no conclusion to the story, the book more or less just "stopped".

A little unfinished for my taste.
Love Donna Tartt as she's is an artist. Her books are fully developed as was this one. However, the ending left me wanting more...a last chapter, an epilogue or perhaps part 2.
