Publisher Description
A READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK • INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A contemporary literary classic and "an accomplished psychological thriller ... absolutely chilling" (Village Voice), from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Goldfinch.
Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.
“A remarkably powerful novel [and] a ferociously well-paced entertainment.... Forceful, cerebral, and impeccably controlled.” —The New York Times

“That’s the book that leaves you with this bittersweet feeling after finishing it. Feels like I gave yourself completely to something and it was genuinely a thrilling journey but the ending lived me utterly bewildered. I was so full energy and and the same time lost after finishing it and that’s actually such an amazing feeling to finish a book with. This is strong 10/10 for me and it left me with so much thoughts that I couldn’t even put it back on the shelf for several days.”Believable charactersCharacters change and growDiverse charactersMulti-layered charactersBeautifully writtenDescriptive writingFast-pacedSuspensefulUnpredictableDark setting

“Read this bc of the internet- however I have zero regrets. She is so full of dark academia/angst/unreliable narrator and the most pretentious delulu characters you can find. I didn't think too crazy of it as I was reading it but I think about this book a lot since I finished it months ago? I know I'll pick this one up again. Cubitum eamus? What?... nothing”Characters change and growMulti-layered charactersBeautifully writtenDescriptive writingAddictiveDark settingComing of ageDarkViolence
