In 1930s Edinburgh, schoolmistress Miss Brodie picks favourites. Viewing her manipulative mentorship through the eyes of the students in her ‘set’, Miss Brodie appears as romantic, cultured, erratic and dangerous, all at once! As much as this book is about a woman in her prime, revelling in art, sex, and the feminine - it is also about the dangers of glamourising the world ravaged by war, fascism, and religious tension it displays. Spark has a way of weaving her social commentary with humour, and it’s captivating.
