This novel is a really interesting character study of some pretty terrible people. It was really well written, though by the end of the novel, every time someone said Miss Jean Brodie is in her prime with gusto/conviction, it's almost comical. The whole book feels slightly queer coded, especially Miss Brodie's interest in a select few of her students' sexuality. It's palpable to the extent that Sandy once ponders the possibility of her being a lesbian.
