'A haunting, compelling and brilliant piece of fiction' The Times 'So irresistible and seductive it's almost a guilty pleasure' Guardian Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and for ever. 'Enthralling . . . image the plot of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment crossed with the story of Euripides' Bacchae set against the backdrop of Bret Easton Ellis's The Rules of Attraction . . . forceful, cerebral and impeccably controlled . . . ferociously well-paced . . . remarkably powerful' The New York Times 'Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She's dense, she's allusive. She's a gorgeous storyteller' Stephen King Donna Tartt was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, and is a graduate of Bennington College. She is the author of the novels The Secret History and The Little Friend, which have been translated into thirty languages, and The Goldfinch.Product Identifiers

very impressed, super good quality
Very very good quality for a second hand book. It looks like new, you wouldn't even be able to tell that it's second hand! Super good price, much cheaper than buying it brand new and totally worth it. Arrived so quickly and in good conditions. Plus, The Secret History is the best book I've ever read, so I would definitely recommend!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
