The Small Room by May Sarton

The Small Room

May Sarton

This is a perceptive, deeply questioning novel of a New England college, its students and it’s faculty. It is a novel about women and the unique relationship between teacher and student – a relationship in which we all are involved.

Anxiously embarking on her first teaching job, Lucy Winter arrives at a New England women’s college and shortly finds herself in the thick of a crisis: she has discovered a dishonest act committed by a brilliant student who is the protegee of a powerful faculty member. How the central characters — students and teachers — react to the crisis and what effect the scandal has on their personal and professional lives are the central motifs of May Sarton’s sensitive, probing novel.
