Clallam County Reads:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
October 2008
About the Book and Book Discussions
To Kill a Mockingbird is that rare American novel that can be discovered with excitement in adolescence and reread into adulthood without fear of disappointment. Few novels so appealingly evoke the daily world of childhood in a way that seems convincing whether you are sixteen or ninety-six.
Author Harper Lee tells two deftly paired stories set in a small Southern town: one focuses on lawyer Atticus Finch's defense of an unjustly accused man, the other on his bright, inquisitive daughter's gradual discovery of her own goodness.
