To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is one of those rare American classics that lives in its narrator's voice. Scout Finch is young enough to misread the adult cruelties around her and sharp enough to record them anyway. It's both a coming-of-age story and a courtroom reckoning, set in a Depression-era Alabama town built on small kindnesses and old poison.
