Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Danna Tartt's first novel.
The Secret History is the first novel by the American author Donna Tartt. The campus novel tells the story of a closely knit group of six classics students at Hampden College, a small, elite liberal arts college in Vermont.[1]
The Secret History is an inverted detective story narrated by one of the six students, Richard Papen, who reflects years later upon the situation that led to the murder of their friend Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran – wherein the events leading up to the murder are revealed sequentially. The novel explores the circumstances and lasting effects of Bunny's death on the academically and socially isolated group of classics students of which he was a part.
