About the author
The Secret History succeeds magnificently ... A remarkably powerful novel [and] a ferociously well-paced entertainment ... Forceful, cerebral, and impeccably controlled
New York Times
So irresistible and seductive it's almost a guilty pleasure
Guardian
A huge, mesmerizing, galloping read
Vanity Fair
Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She's dense, she's allusive. She's a gorgeous storyteller
Stephen King
Takes my breath away
Ruth Rendell
Brilliant and compulsive
Evening Standard
A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction ... Packed with literary allusion and told with a sophistication and texture that owes much more to the nineteenth century than to the twentieth
