Donna Tartt

But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and for ever.

But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.'Haunting, compelling and brilliant' The Times'Irresistible and seductive' Guardian'Enthralling...
