Set in the early 2oth century, To Kill A MockingBird tells the story of a local lawyer charged with defending a black man accused of raping a white woman, told through the eyes of a young girl. With its child-like viewpoint, Mockingbird pitts the lawyer against man's most infamed prejudice as he strives to free an innocent man while battling the strongest opinions of his own friends, family and neighbors.
From the straight talking Jean Louise to the bigoted Bob Ewell to the principled Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird is an exploration of the varied perspectives on life and equality suffered, condoned and challenged in 1930s America.
