- 摘要: "Maggie Brodie thought she'd left teaching behind her. Retired twice, once with a dishonourable discharge, she's been drafted back for a day's cover at her local primary school. It's going to be a tough shift: a day of battles with her thirst for booze; with the soft soap headmaster; and lastly with Rosie. Rosie, six, is new. She is also from Somalia and does not speak." "To Maggie's surprise silent Rosie stirs something in her, something long forgotten, a connection that she can't quite get a grip on. The school have allowed 'community leaders' into Maggie's classroom who believe that her silence arises from witchcraft, and Maggie is forced to take action. Drastic action." --Book Jacket.

Given her disreputable past, retired teacher Maggie Brodie knows she was a last minute choice for supply cover. Being patronised by the idiotic young headmaster is an indignity she can just about endure. But her frustrations increase when a silent Somalian child in her class, whom Maggie is inexplicably drawn to, is believed by her family and community to be possessed. Maggie seems to be the only one who is outraged and protective of the girl. And if they don't listen to her, she will be forced to take action. Drastic action.
