A haunting portrait of race and class, innocence and injustice, hypocrisy and heroism, and tradition and trans-formation in the Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird remains as important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960, during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights movement. This gripping novel is a remarkable coming-of-age tale in a South poisoned by prejudice, viewing a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of young Scout, as her father, Atticus Finch, a local lawyer, risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a crime.
