Last summer when I was in England, I bought The Secret History by Donna Tartt. And reason why I took it was because it was a bestseller. I`ve also heard a lot of good things about her, so I thought I would give it a try.
The book is about an academically and socially isolated group of students attending Hampden College in Vermont. However, Richard Papen, the story`s narrator, who reflects, many years later, on the situation that led to a murder within the group. Richard find this hard to believe that his is involved in a situation like this. It mirrors, in many ways, the thought of a Greek tragedy with fate playing a large part in dictating the very circumstances that lead to an escalation of already fermenting issue.
