Absolute classic.
To Kill a Mockingbird centres on lawyer Atticus Finch’s attempts to prove the innocence of Tom Robinson, a black man who has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Maycombe County, Alabama. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
The story is narrated by Finch's young daughter Scout.
