Truly deserving of the accolade Modern Classic, Donna Tartt`s bestseller The Secret History is a remarkable achievement - both compelling and elegant, dramatic and playful.

`What we did was terrible, but still I don`t think any of us were bad, exactly; chalk it up to weakness on my part, hubris on Henry`s, too much Greek prose composition - whatever you like.`

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 morality, their lives are changed profoundly and for ever.

The Secret History is a story of two parts; the chain of events that led to the death of a classmate - and what happened next.

`So irresistible and seductive it`s almost a guilty pleasure` Guardian

`Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She`s dense, she`s allusive. She`s a gorgeous storyteller` Stephen King

`A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction . . . Packed with literary allusion and told with a sophistication and texture` The Times
