5.0
The most beautifully told tragedy I have ever read. Suspenseful and colorfully written. Masterfully, Tartt appeals to her reader’s senses to draw them vividly into her story of identity-seeking, companionship, and conspiracy.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Alcoholism and Drug abuse
Minor: Gun violence and Sexual assault
