To Kill A Mockingbird
. . . . .
Author:
Harper Lee
. . . . .
What the book is about:
A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father-a crusading local lawyer-risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
. . . . .
Why I like it:
This book fictionally retells an important and heartbreaking time in the history of America. It’s beautifully written (you probably know that because you probably read it too!) and I believe that having a healthy bookshelf includes a good collection of classics.
