About The Secret History
The Secret History is a highly unusual murder mystery: from the start, we know who murdered Edmund “Bunny” Corcoran, so instead of looking for the culprit of the crime, we must uncover their motives. We soon see that Bunny’s group of friends are not regular students: they are a select group hand-picked by the mysterious, charismatic Classics professor Julian Morrow, and pride themselves of their intelligence and refinement. However, with Bunny’s murder, the ties between them quickly unravel, and their lives are forever altered.
About Donna Tartt
Donna Tartt is an American writer. She studied at the University of Mississippi and then Bennington College (which bears numerous similarities to the fictional Hampden College in The Secret History), and as a student attracted the attention of the writers Willie Morris and Barry Hannah. Her first novel, The Secret History, was published in 1992; this was followed by The Little Friend in 2003, and The Goldfinch, which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, in 2013. Her work often deals with the themes of social class, guilt and aesthetic beauty.
