The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
I LOVED this book when I read it quite a few years ago now so was delighted to see there is an adaptation of it starting this morning at 11 on Radio 4 Extra.
Thought I'd post in case there were others who might like a listen

Yes!
I've also just ordered her most recent work on kindle, was only 1.99 for anyone interested.
It's fab isn't it, Sue? I bloody love Donna Tartt.
Before I had the time to buy The Goldfinch there was an adaptation of it on Radio 4.I enjoyed it but nowhere near as much as The Secret History which is one of my all time favourite books.
With Rue My Heart Is Laden
WITH rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.
By brooks too broad for leaping 5
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.
A.E Housman
My one criticism is I would have liked a little more background information on why Henry was the way he was, and the same with the twins as well.
Beautiful poem.
