The novel is about a boy named Theo Decker whose mother dies in a terrorist attack at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The Goldfinch is rated R for language some violence and sexuality.
The main reason the Goldfinch is rated R is because of the language. There is a lot of profanity throughout the novel including the F-word. There is also quite a bit of violence particularly in the second half of the book. There are scenes of drug use and sexuality as well.
While the Goldfinch is rated R it is still a great novel that is definitely worth reading. If you are uncomfortable with profanity or violence you may want to skip this one.
