` 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 & Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race & class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence & hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man`s struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. With Harper Lee`s eagerly awaited sequel Go Set A Watchman now available, this novel is experiencing a whole new lease of life.
