To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Description

To Kill a Mockingbird Novel by Harper Lee

The story, however, is not told from his perspective, but from that of his daughter, Scout who is around 5 or 6 when the story begins and about 10 or so in its closing scenes. Through her eyes, we get innocence mixed with precociousness and the wry sense of humor she has inherited from her dad. He’s a lawyer and he asks a lot of questions. Sometimes he asks them when he already knows the answer and so does Scout. Atticus is always straightforward about answering her. Jem tries his best with her, but he is also very young at the time and trying to find his way of fitting in as well.

The first few pages introduce a cast of characters and are somewhat challenging to get into. Best to relax and just enjoy the ride – it will all come clear as the story unfolds. Remember you are being introduced by a small child. The action starts soon enough, as Atticus is assigned to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. The scenes leading up to and within the courthouse during the trial are brilliant and evoke so much emotion as you “climb into another’s skin and walk around in it”. The writing is so vivid and the characters really come alive. Your heart wants one verdict even though your head knows it’s going to be another. The town gets past the trial and life goes on; or does it? Unfortunately, not for everyone. The ending is incredible and will not leave you for a long time to come.

I read this book as part of a banned book project and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I fell in love with Atticus Finch and Scout and I hope to become a better person for it! I’m glad when young people review this book and are shocked by what the world offered in 1935. That helps me understand that times are indeed changing despite still having a way to go!
