Description

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENONEMON

A Katie Couric Book Club Pick • A Jen Hatmaker Book Club Pick

“[A] word-of-mouth smash hit.” —The New York Times

“A treasure.” —Hoda Kotb

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.

    In times of uncertainty, sometimes all you need is to read a book with a wonderful message to remind yourself to find the good in the world. The lesson of this book is powerful and filled with so much humanity. It made me laugh and cry!

    I have read hundreds upon hundreds of books and this one is in the top 10. A charming story of a mysterious elder gentleman and his curious interactions among many in a small southern town. His impact changed lives with his sweet tenderness and kindness. Enjoy the book and take your time. Love is really all that matters.

  • Good for the soul

    Sappy; well-written but what a waste.

  • There is a reason why book stores can’t keep it in stock.

    This is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read. It is prose that reads like poetry, in a wonderful way. The main character reminds me so much of my grandfather, who was “ My Person.” I fell in love with all the characters, and their stories. I didn’t want it to end. Just so beautiful.

  • To aspire

    I came to this book with no expectations and because of the cover art - I’m drawn to feathers. This book will stick with me. All of the characters have added a bit of spiritual value to my life. I recommend it to anyone who is world weary. I aspire to its grace.

  • Perfection!!!
