I watched the movie decades ago and now have read (listened) to the book. The audio narration is terrific. It's a charming yet devious short tale.

This novel is a really interesting character study of some pretty terrible people. It was really well written, though by the end of the novel, every time someone said Miss Jean Brodie is in her prime with gusto/conviction, it's almost comical. The whole book feels slightly queer coded, especially Miss Brodie's interest in a select few of her students' sexuality. It's palpable to the extent that Sandy once ponders the possibility of her being a lesbian.

“These years are still the years of my prime. It is important to recognise the years of one's prime, always remember that.”
“For those who like that sort of thing," said Miss Brodie in her best Edinburgh voice, "That is the sort of thing they like.”
