'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 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 thirties. 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. Out now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Sissy
Spacek.
