Description
“It takes my breath away”. (Ruth Rendell).
“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’ “The Rules of Attraction”…forceful, cerebral and impeccably controlled…ferociously well-paced…remarkably powerful”. (“The New York Times”).
Donna Tartt was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, and educated at the University of Mississippi and Bennington College. She is a novelist, essayist, and critic and author of “The Little Friend”. “The Secret History” has been translated into twenty-four languages.
Review
So irresistible and seductive it’s almost a guilty pleasure ― Guardian
A huge, mesmerizing, galloping read ― Vanity Fair
Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She’s dense, she’s allusive. She’s a gorgeous storyteller — Stephen King
Takes my breath away — Ruth Rendell
Brilliant and compulsive ― Evening Standard
A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction … Packed with literary allusion and told with a sophistication and texture that owes much more to the nineteenth century than to the twentieth ― The Times
