Great thread, hadn't seen it before. I've only read Brodie so far, but impressed by her use of "spoilers" to turn attention this way and that, yet also undersells the characters---if you want to think and/or care about them in a certain way, there's plenty room. Although she does introduce us to some historical context, such as Brodie's being of the generation of women with not a lot of male contemporaries (because WWI), so previous expectations, pressures, possibilities were off-kilter, continuing into Depression and WWII at least.
