To Kill a Mockingbird is Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece that explores honor and injustice in the deep South. Through the eyes of a young girl, Scout Finch, readers witness the world’s beauty and its savage inequities as her father, Atticus Finch, a crusading local lawyer, defends an unjustly accused black man. Voted one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read, this timeless tale has been translated into over forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and inspired an immensely popular motion picture. A heart-wrenching story of coming-of-age in a society poisoned by blind and violent hatred, it remains a remarkable exploration of courage and morality.
