“Love doesn’t conquer everything. And whoever thinks it does is a fool.”

The Secret History has been on my TBR for quite some time and I am so glad that I finally put some time aside to read it.
While I cannot say that my life was forever altered by this novel (though my feelings on that may change with time) I feel as though giving it anything less than 4 starts would be doing it an immense disservice. Readers of TSH will be able to see the impact that the novel has had on the Dark Academia genre and I think that in and of itself is an incredible feat that speaks to Tartt’s skill.

One character makes homophobic and antisemitic remarks. The characters come from wealthy white families and it’s strongly implied in certain spots that their families are somewhat racist and classist.noo's review against another edition
