Richard is an unreliable narrator from California, an outsider desperate to be accepted by a group of wealthy, intelligent, and morally ambiguous classics students at the fictional Hampden College in Vermont.

She resurrects the snowy fields of Vermont, the clink of wine glasses at a secluded mansion, and the final, terrible scream that echoes through a ravine. donna tartt the secret history audiobook
