The Gold Finch Feb 2015

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

Our first meeting of the year and we met at Jane's  in Feb 2015.

The book has been described as "brilliant" although some felt it was a bit of a let down at the end.

Lee's comments :
"Huge book, I loved every page until towards the end with the strange business in Amsterdam and the conclusion and the author's summing up as it were at the end.  I didn't feel that it was a particularly 'literary' work but nevertheless a great read."

Ratings averaged 7-8/10

Our next book is Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty and will be on Thursday March 12 at Megan's.

  1. I loved this book. Couldn't put it down.Perhaps structurally and plot-wise, it could have ended a little sooner, but I loved the writing style so much I could have read on for another novel's length.
