The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

What a charming story of a group of girls favored by their quirky spinster teacher.

I loved this book. It explores some of our worst instincts in such a carefully constructed and subtle manner. The author doesn't condescend. Despite being a short book, it leaves a lot for you to think about. I snatched this book away from Kevin who was about to read it, but it would have been a perfect book club selection.
