THE DRIVER'S SEAT follows the final haunted hours of a woman descending into madness. THE GIRLS OF SLENDER MEANS" is a beautifully drawn portrait of young women living in a hostel in London in the giddy postwar days of 1945. Spark's most celebrated novel, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, tells the story of a charismatic schoolteacher's catastrophic effect on her pupils. Despite the seriousness of their themes, all four are fantastic comedies of manners, bristling with wit. These four novels, each a miniature masterpiece, illustrate her development over four decades. The brevity of Muriel Spark's novels is equaled only by their brilliance.
