´What we did was terrible, but still I don´t think any of us were bad, exactly chalk it up to weakness on my part, hubris on Henry´s, too much Greek prose composition - whatever you like.´

Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of morality, their lives are changed profoundly and for ever.

The Secret History is a story of two parts the chain of events that led to the death of a classmate - and what happened next.
