I'll nominate The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
Quote:
"The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review
