The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie

A book that was on many people's recommended reads lists. Jean Brodie is a teacher at a girls' school with a following. She's sharp and well-read and clever, which goes against the grain of the educational institution, but she is also flawed and leads her students onto paths that do not always serve them or the world well. Why is it when we find someone we admire we seem to ignore the parts that don't work for us? A cautionary tale, in a sense, for me.
