Selección del club de lectura READ WITH JENNA - BESTSELLER INTERNACIONAL - Un clásico contemporáneo de la ganadora del Premio Pulitzer y autora de El jilguero.

No es fácil ir haciendo amigos en una universidad de Nueva Inglaterra si eres un chico modesto y falto de afecto que llega de California, y Richard Papen lo sabe; por eso agradece que lo admitan en un pequeño grupo de cinco estudiantes capitaneados por un profesor de literatura clásica con mucho carisma y pocos escrúpulos.

Los chicos sueltan comentarios en griego y se ríen de la ingenuidad y la torpeza de los demás, pero bien mirado se pasan el día bebiendo y engullendo pastillas, hasta que un mal día las que parecían chiquilladas se convierten en palabras mayores. Solo entonces Richard y su pandilla descubren qué difícil es vivir sin máscaras y qué fácil es matar sin remordimientos.

En El secreto, la primera novela de Donna Tartt, se unen la tensión de la novela psicológica, el ritmo de un thriller y la crónica de una juventud que pide demasiado a la vida sin saber bien qué entregar a cambio. El resultado es una obra que se cuenta entre las mejores del siglo XX.
