The Finishing School by Muriel Spark
#35 in my book challenge for the year, and #11 in my summer reading challenge was The Finishing School by Muriel Spark. Disappointing, and overlong even at just 180 some pages. I much preferred the other Spark books I’ve read. The Finishing School wasn’t quite funny or dark enough to be compelling. Instead, I found it boring.

I didn’t much care for The Finishing School either. And, of course, when I was in the bookstore yesterday checking to see which Spark it carried, The Finishing School was the only Spark to be found.
