I was instantly drawn into this dark, unique world from the first paragraph. I found Donna Tartt’s prose to be beautifully haunting and I devoured it ferociously. I now sit, swirling thoughts around concerning what makes people good or bad, what it means to love and what lengths humans will go to out of self preservation. This was an exhilarating read.
