The Secret History

I previously read The Goldfinch, another work of the author, several years ago. As such, I had high expectations from the first page – and it did not disappoint. Donna Tartt intricately tells a gripping story of love, tragedy, and an obsession with ancient Greek philosophy.

I absolutely adore her writing style and how she describes the protagonist's perspective, giving us an intimate understanding of other characters and the story that takes place in Hampden College.

Reading this book has given me, as a side-effect, a deepened interest in ancient philosophy.

Would recommend.
