“The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie”


“These are the years of my prime. You are benefitting from my prime.” (43)


I recently met a man who read books by reading the first 100 pages, and then skipped to the end. “I suppose you read the whole book, even if you don’t like it?” Yep. I wish I had met him before I started reading this novel, maybe I would have taken his advice after page 50.


Impressionable. Unconventional. Opinionated. MANIPULATIVE. Betrayed. 


Ok, I have to admit I was mildly intrigued. Which leads me to wonder…did I ever hit my prime as a teacher? I might seek out the film version of the book just to see someone else’s interpretation.
