This is really an interesting book. As usual, much better than the movie. It's both suspenseful, and humorous at the same time.

A bit of a twisted story and am looking very forward to seeing the movie to explain the missing knots in the twists.

Schoolteacher Barbara Covett has led a solitary life until Sheba Hart, the new art teacher at St. George's, befriends her. But even as their relationship develops, so too does another: Sheba has begun an illicit affair with an underage male student. When the scandal turns into a media circus, Barbara decides to write an account in her friend's defense-and ends up revealing not only Sheba's secrets but also her own.

I thought this book was quite good, compelling interesting and a very unusual story.
