The Secret History by Donna Tartt

5.0

The Secret History is a literary masterpiece that captivated me from the first page to the last. The catalyst for Dark Academia as we know and enjoy it today. Donna Tartt's eloquent prose weaves a tale of mystery, academia, and the complexities of human nature. The characters are richly developed, and the atmospheric setting adds to the novel's allure. With its brilliant storytelling this book is a true gem that lingers in the mind long after the final chapter. A must-read for anyone who appreciates depth, intelligence and a touch of the enigmatic.
