Donna Tartt est une femme écrivain américaine née le 23 décembre 1963 à Greenwood au Mississippi. Ayant étudié au Bennigton College dans le Vermont, elle a été publiée pour la première fois à l’âge de 13 ans dans une revue littéraire du Mississippi. Mais son premier roman Le maître des illusions publié en 1992 marque son succès mondial, prix des libraires du Québec. Un effort largement récompensé lorsqu’on fait allusion à huit longues années qu’il lui a fallu pour l’écrire. Onze ans plus tard, elle revient sur le devant de la scène avec son roman Le Chardonneret en 2013, prix Pulitzer de la fiction.
Dans son livre « Le maitre des illusions », l’auteur met en scène le jeune opportuniste Richard qui a profité d’une bourse d’études à l’université de Hampden pour s’échapper de l’emprise paternelle. Prêt à tout pour socialement réussir, il est parvenu rapidement à intégrer la classe du professeur Julian qui est une petite communauté qui ne jure que sur deux mots d’ordre : discipline et secret. Rapidement, Richard s’est rendu compte que tout n’y est que vice, manipulation, trahison.
L’œuvre « Le Chardonneret » doit son succès à une fiction qui mêle thriller moderne à un roman d’initiation à la Dickens. Angoisses, peurs et vices d’une Amérique contemporaine tournent en fiasco la vie du jeune Theo. Où a-t-il pu trouver Le Chardonneret, toile de maître, qu’il transporte partout avec lui ?

Résumé
A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this "extraordinary" and beloved novel that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review), named a New York Times Best Book of the 21st Century. 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 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 a wealthy and insular art community. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works.
He is alienated and in love - and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. 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 (Ron Charles, Washington Post).
