Reading The Secret History | Alexandria
Read The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Murdering a friend in cold blood transforms a tight-knit circle of classics students who succumb to ancient Greek obsessions. The Secret History flips the whodunit on its head - we know the killers from page one, but their descent into madness and guilt creates a hypnotic exploration of how intellectuals rationalize evil. Most surprisingly, their crime stems not from hatred, but from a desperate search for beauty and meaning.
