Miss Brodie, of course, encourages this and goes so far as to include the girls in her personal life. The Brodie set is intrigues with this development, as they are hitting that age when sexuality is becoming very curious. Meanwhile, you also have a love triangle between Miss Brodie, Mr Lowther the music teacher and Mr Lloyd, the one armed art teacher. The book switched back and forth between present day and the girl’s school days, being not only their days with Miss Brodie but also their later learning in junior and senior school. The reader is told early on that one of the Brodie set betrays Miss Brodie, which causes her to be terminated from her employment.
Mathematics and science seem to fall by the wayside as Miss Brodie “teaches” only what pleases her.
Miss Brodie’s teaching style is quite different from that of other teachers at the school and she is content with telling stories to her class and reciting poetry. She is actually a teacher in her prime and she has a select group of students (Rose, Monica, Sandy, Mary, Eunice and Jenny) that are known as the Brodie set. **My review does contain minor spoilers which are related early on in the book. 24 hour read-a-thon 2010 YA challenge Armchair BEA 2011 audiobook baby BBAW 2009 BBAW 2010 bbaw 2011 BEA Betsy-Tacy birthday book book club booker challenge 2010 Booking Through Thursday Bookmarks book review challenges Christmas classic reads book club classics classics circuit clear off your shelves debutante ball DNF dystopian fiction East of Eden Europa challenge fall catch-up read-a-thon Fall into Reading Challenge fiction Friday Finds georgette heyer giveaway GLBT challenge graphic novels historical fiction humor In My Mailbox Italy jane austen joyce carol oates kindle Library Loot Mailbox Monday memoir mini reviews Monthly Wrap-Up mystery new books New Orleans non fiction persephone Q&A read-a-long readathon 2011 recent acquisitions RIP IV RIP V RIP VI saturday snapshot seriespalooza shelf discovery showin' off my shelves Sunday Salon Teaser Tuesday thankfully reading The Color Purple tlc book tours weekly geeks women unbound women unbound challenge YA-D2 YA Dystopia reading challenge YA fiction.
