Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee

There's no better way to start the autumn but with a steaming cup of tea and a good classic novel.

To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in Alabama during the time of the Great Depression, and it is told through the eyes of the main character, by the name of Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch. You learn about her father, Atticus Finch, who is a lawyer hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a male black citizen who's unjustly accused of rape.

In my opinion, the story is a bit too traditional for me personally to get used to but there is no denying that it is a one hundred percent classic American novel.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in inspiring stories of bravery and risking everything you have on your beliefs. This book has tough themes (such as racism, gender roles and civil rights) I would have to agree that young children don't read it as well as it's difficult structure and vocabulary.

You can find this book in the shop for online purchase.
