Book Synopsis
Set in the Deep South during the 1930s, To Kill a Mockingbird follows young Scout Finch, her brother Jem, and their father Atticus—a principled lawyer defending a Black man falsely accused of rape in a town rife with prejudice. Through Scout’s innocent eyes, Harper Lee masterfully explores themes of morality, justice, and empathy amid the shadows of racism and lost innocence. This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, published in 1960, remains a timeless indictment of societal wrongs and a heartfelt celebration of compassion.
With its blend of humor, heartbreak, and profound wisdom, it’s a story that challenges readers to confront their own biases and stand in another’s shoes.
