The books plot is actually very minimal, so it’s a wonder how it manages to span 600 odd pages. But I adore Donna Tartt’s prose, I think it’s gorgeous. Some of the most mundane and ordinary plot points are written so descriptively, it really helped carry me through the book without me wanting to put it down.
I think a lot of the references to the classics were lost on me, but I don’t think I missed out on anything by not knowing the references either.
A great piece of modern literature, that really gives off the dark academia vibes.
