The protagonist of the novel by Donna Tartt is Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother but unreliable father, who manages to survive a terrorist attack that leaves him in orphan within seconds. Theo finds himself in New York, alone and abandoned as he is without relatives or a place to stay. He is then taken in by a rich family, one of his school friends. Theo is very uncomfortable in his new surroundings on Park Avenue in New York and he soon finds himself isolated from friends and schoolmates. The childhood and adolescence of Theo pass and with the years he becomes a man, he falls in love and learns how to get into the most chic areas in New York. He finds work in an antique shop, and for reasons unthinkable, is faced with a huge challenge: a risky game where the stakes are one of the things he cares about most, a talisman with an old photo of his now deceased mother, the only thing that remains to show him the beauty of the world.
