Review:
A story of a teacher in a grammar school in Scotland - Miss Jean Brodie, and her favourite group of students in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century.A typical of Spark’s style and humour, with Miss Brodie’s predictions about her girls turning out complete opposite and her being dismissed for her support of Duce.
