What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal
reviewed on


Schoolteacher Barbara Covett has led a solitary existence. The new art teacher, Sheba Hart, becomes a friend and opens Barbara's life. But Sheba becomes sexually involved with a male student, and the legal and media worlds enter the picture. This book is Barbara's narrative and she reveals as much about herself as about Sheba.
