The Secret History
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Goldfinch
By Donna Tartt
Harry Hartog's review
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it." I absolutely loved this book. Donna Tartt has an amazing talent for description. Her evocation of life at a private university is rich and detailed. This book follows six aloof, self-absorbed and arrogant pseudo intellectuals studying at a New England university and us ultimately a story about friendship and the sacrifices we make to keep them intact. - Adrian, Harry Hartog Penrith
Description
The dark academia bestseller that defined an age
Truly deserving of the accolade Modern Classic, Donna Tartt's cult bestseller The Secret History is a remarkable achievement - incredibly compelling, dramatic and playful.
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, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
