I'd read this decades ago, when I was a university student, and decided to do a reread when I found the book at a library sale. I like the compactness and unconventional nature of the story, and the characters -- the manipulative and charismatic Jean Brodie and the different members of the Brodie set -- are memorable. Spark conveys well the complex and varied relationships between students and teachers.

I've never seen the well-known film adaptation starring Maggie Smith, but I definitely want to see it. The cover of this edition actually shows Geraldine McEwan of Miss Marple fame in a 1978 TV series adaptation.
