About this book
"The author of the classic bestsellers The Secret History and The Little Friend returns with a brilliant, highly anticipated new novel. A young boy in New York City, Theo Decker, miraculously survives an accident that takes the life of his mother.

It is a story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the enormous power of art"--
