STAFF PICK (15% off!) - The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
Miss Jean Brodie is a thoroughly unconventional teacher who selects six pupils at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls to become her disciples. “The Brodie set” learns all the important things - how to look at paintings of naked women without giggling, what Miss Brodie does on her summer holiday, and how to hold up their books so that it appears they are studying in case the headmistress comes around. But most importantly, these girls learn what it means to be an intelligent, independent woman both in her prime and ahead of her time.
See our staff picks page for more about this title!
