'ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN NOVELS EVER WRITTEN' 'Shoot all the
bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to
kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he
defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a
black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through
the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with
exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and
class in the Deep South of the 1930s. 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. To Kill a Mockingbird is a
coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of
the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing
tradition.
