     "An incredible read! It contains the absolute perfect blend of wit, insightfulness, and intrigue which makes it so memorable."

     You girls are my vocation... I am dedicated to you in my prime." So says Miss Jean Brodie, a teacher unlike any other…
      Miss Jean Brodie is proud and cultured. A romantic, with progressive, sometimes shocking ideas and aspirations for the girls in her charge. When she decides to transform a select group of pupils into the 'crème de la crème' at the Marcia Blaine School they become the Brodie set. In exchange for their undivided loyalty the girls earn a special place of honour and privilege within the school.
     Jean Brodie's unconventional ideas put her at odds with the other members of staff at the Marcia Blaine School in Edinburgh, as she endeavours to shape the lives of the select group of girls who form her set.
     Yet they are also introduced to a startling new world of adult games and intrigues, and as boundaries are crossed so the difficulties start to unfold.
