Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Muriel Spark is one of the few writers on either side of the Atlantic with enough resources, daring, and stamina to be altering, as well as feeding, the fiction machine."

-- "New Yorker"

"A perfect book."

-- "Chicago Tribune"

"Remarkable; Surprises are systematically reduced until there is only one left, and it is like the stab of a stiletto."

-- "Spectator"

"A gloriously witty and polished vignette."

-- "Times Literary Supplement"

"Admirably written, beautifully constructed, extremely amusing, and deeply serious."

-- "Saturday Review "

Narrator [Wanda McCaddon's] voices are an almost musical backdrop to the story; her accents dance gracefully with one another throughout all types of interaction. Miss Jean Brodie's eccentricities and the author's use of time shifts are not lost in [McCaddon's] reading. [McCaddon] keeps the reader right by her side.

-- "AudioFile"

Reseña del editor:

A teacher at a girl's school in Edinburgh during the 1930s comes into conflict with school authorities because of her unorthodox teaching methods.
