Happy 30th Birthday to the iconic novel that is The Secret History! In a late addition to our Book of the Month schedule, we're excited to share that we're throwing it back thirty years and making this gorgeous 30th Anniversary edition of The Secret History by Donna Tartt our September Book of the Month. We're pretty sure that if BookBar had been around in 1992, we'd have made it our BOTM then anyway, so we're giving this masterpiece the credit it's due. The Secret History is the story of Richard, who falls in with a crowd of five erudite students at an elite American college, inspired by their charismatic classics professor. When their grandiose academic ambitions and intellectual and social sparring leads them to commit murder, the academic glamour turns toxic. It's a gloriously gripping literary thriller that has become a contemporary classic and is an absolute must read. This beautiful edition is one to treasure, with gorgeous endpapers and a beautiful silk ribbon - so it's the perfect gift for you or a loved one, whether you've read the book already or are discovering it for the first time. The Secret History is the perfect autumnal read, best read with a glass of red, so if you buy the 30th Anniversary edition from BookBar for the rest of the month, you'll receive a glass of our house red wine for just £2. 🍷📚🍂🍁 We're usually closed on a Monday so won't be open tomorrow, but we're open for books, wine and coffee until 6pm today.
