Harper Lee 1926-2016
With the news of the death Harper Lee, it's a good time to re-visit, or indeed read for the first time, To Kill a Mockingbird. This slim novel, considered by many to be the greatest of the 20th century, tells two stories: a universal story of racial prejudice and injustice; and the joys of small-town life with its assortment of eccentric characters, both seen through the eyes of a young child. Funny, touching, beautifully written – borrow the hard copy or loan it from our elibrary now.
