Synopsis
Barbara Covett, a middle-aged teacher at a private school, befriends the new teacher, Sheba Hart, whose exotic looks, naively open manner, and unprofessional dress are a contrast to Barbara's own drab looks and lonely lifestyle. When Sheba begins an affair with a 15-year-old student, Barbara becomes Sheba's confidant, but her own motives are far from innocent. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003, WHAT WAS SHE THINKING was made into the 2006 film NOTES ON SCANDAL starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett.

By the author of Everything You Know.

Industry reviews
"Unbelievable yet compelling: it's almost as if Heller tried for a salacious potboiler and ended up--her talent refusing not to intrude--with a portrait that remains indelible."
Kirkus Reviews  (05/15/2003)

"[Barbara's] mixed motives for concocting such a voyeuristic tall tale are ultimately what give Heller's novel its queasy, heartbreaking kick."
Atlantic Monthly - James Marcus 

"[T]he book is so bustling and rich...that the darkness seems lit from end to end."
New Yorker  (08/11/2003)

"In the end, WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? isn't so much about the standard student-teacher affair as it is about the complicated weights and balances of female friendships....The plot twist may not be a huge surprise, but Heller handles it with wry grace, managing to mock her characters without allowing their story to tip into farce."
New York Times Book Review - Lisa Zeidner (08/17/2003)

"The novel is cleverly written and frighteningly truthful...."
Literary Review - Sophia Watson (07/01/2003)

"This is a fascinating, brilliant, irritating novel, consistently defying definition by genre, literary worth, or even purpose. It's a quiet little read - yet horribly addictive."
 (05/31/2003)

Synopsis: (for information only and is not part of the discription)

Schoolteacher Barbara Covett has led a solitary existence; aside from her cat, Portia, she has few friends and no intimates. When Sheba Hart joins St. George's as the new art teacher, Barbara senses the possibility of a new friendship. It begins with lunches and continues with regular invitations to meals with Sheba's seemingly close-knit family. But as Barbara and Sheba's relationship develops, another does as well: Sheba has begun a passionate affair with an underage male student. When it comes to light and Sheba falls prey to the inevitable media circus, Barbara decides to write an account in her freind's defense-an account that reveals not only Sheba's secrets but her own. What Was She Thinking? is a story of repression and passion, envy and complacence, friendship and loneliness. A complex psychological portrait framed as a wicked satire, it is by turns funny, poignant, and sinister. With it, Zo Heller surpasses the promise of her critically acclaimed first novel, Everything You Know.
