“To Kill a Mockingbird for this generation.” —The Dallas Morning News
One spring morning, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden. He doesn’t explain much about where he came from or why he’s there—but when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls, he begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person’s story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.
A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is an unforgettable novel about the power of generosity, the importance of connection, and the quiet miracles that happen when we choose kindness and wonder.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Pulled at my heart strings
This was a touching, heart warming and poetic book. I needed a book that reminded me of the human potential for goodness, for kindness, and this book did that. The only reason i dont give it 5 stars has to do more, perhaps, with me ; i found that it really started to ‘pick up’ in terms of captivating the reader, towards the end. But perhaps it is made to be a slower paced story. Also, iit made me think that in order to really make a difference one has to have the finances to do so. I know that the message was probably about the impact of small acts of kindeness, but overall, i came away with the aforementioned feeling.
