The novel was originally titled The God of Illusions, and its first-edition hardcover was designed by the acclaimed New York City graphic designer Chip Kidd, and Barbara de Wilde. The novel explores the circumstances and lasting effects of Bunny's death on the academically and socially isolated group of classics students of which he was a part. The Secret History is an inverted detective story narrated by one of the six students, Richard Papen, who reflects years later upon the situation that led to the murder of their friend Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran – wherein the events leading up to the murder are revealed sequentially. Set in New England, the campus novel tells the story of a closely knit group of six classics students at Hampden College, a small, elite liberal arts college located in Vermont based upon Bennington College, where Tartt was a student between 19.
As you can already tell, english isn't my native language.The Secret History is the first novel by the American author Donna Tartt, published by Alfred A. It remains unknown to me whenever this is an exception to their usual carrier or they just keep this information to themselves and deliberately don't provide customers with tracking numbers for their orders that they happen to have (I think that it's easier for them to not give you a tracking number, so if the package doesn't arrive on time they just tell you "Please, be patient and ask your local post office").ĮDIT: I just found out that I made a typo on the title, so excuse me. I've been ordering from Book Depository for years now, and this never happened to me (Just two weeks ago I made another order which was shipped on time, so I didn't get this email. You can track the status of the parcel(s) at.

So to help keep you updated about where your order(s) are while they are on their way to you in Chile, we wanted to let you know the tracking ID's for your item(s): We are currently experiencing a high volume of contacts so our replies are a little slower than normal. Along the shipping confirmation email, I received this one: It was finally shipped this morning (Thursday the 4th). Last week I placed an order on Book Depository (Thursday the 28th on the afternoon) which should have been shipped before 3 business days (Around Tuesday or Wednesday). I couldn't find any information about this here on reddit, or at Google, so I wanted to share it with you and read your opinion.Įveryone that have ever order from Book Depository would tell easily that the worst part of it is that they don't give you a tracking number for your orders (And their inside "tracking" is pretty ridiculous, as it only tells you whenever your order have been shipped from their warehouses).
