What stands out most for me about The Goldfinch is its juxtaposition of life’s complexity and simplicity and how foundational art is to our communal experiences and our individual growth.

As a long time fan of Guy Gavriel Kay’s writing, I am delighted his acclaimed ‘The Fionavar Tapestry” trilogy will be adapted into a television series.
It was the cover art that initially drew me, I was intrigued by the juxtaposition between the dark hues and the inferred agrarian scene conjured by the title.
