The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

 
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

A short, odd novel that's funny and deeply tragic at the same time. I don't fully understand the betrayal that leads to Miss Jean Brodie's ultimately downfall. Was Sandy jealous of Brodie's personal charisma? Was it a necessary step to break free of her influence?
