The Secret History
(1992) by Donna Tartt
Oh. My.
Seriously- I had only two words left in my brain after finishing this
novel cause IT. WAS. BRILLIANT.
Now,
if you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll know that I
don't normally praise books like this- just the really fantastic
ones. I could tell early on that The
Secret History
would suck me in and deprive me of sleep, as all really great books
do. Tartt offers us a narrative at once gripping, anxiety-inducing,
and fascinating, all at the same time. After all, "murderous
Classics students" is an intriguing phrase, no?
