Publisher: Picador

€I heard you arranged this performance.” He stepped closer. Cate: For her performance as Sheba, the bobo school teacher who takes up with one her students in “Notes on a Scandal” (based on Zoë Heller's Booker short-listed What Was She Thinking? However, I'm mystified by all the critical acclaim she's received for Scandal, as I didn't think there was much "juice" in the part or in Blanchett's work. €She is part of our family now.” Her voice sounded breathy, unsure. €That shows a spirit of generosity, despite your words.” “She deserves the opportunity. In the earlier excerpt of A NOTE OF SCANDAL, Will was entranced by Olivia. And it is right to salute Spain.”. Cate Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal (2006). Here, Olivia finds herself thinking of Will in a new way as they enjoy a performance of sizzling Spanish guitar: Olivia's face mirrored her surprise. Adapted from the 2003 novel "What Was She Thinking?” by Zoë Heller, “Notes on a Scandal” is about loneliness and how, unchecked, it can easily transforms into fixation and even obsession.
