| Murder, mystery, academia, and the human condintion all contained in this incredibly well written first novel by Donna Tartt. loosely based on her days as a student at Bennington College in Vermont, the story follows a select group of students who are victims of their priviledged upbringing. The book is written in 3 distinct sections, all of which are different but essential to the whole. this is one of my favorite books of all time. |
