Obviously a classic so it’s good. Southern setting felt homey and I think it does a good job of talking about racism and sexism for it’s time. Not perfect since it’s set in 1930s Alabama but I do think it’s effective. Other books like Secret Life of the Bees and The Help try and fail to do what To Kill a Mockingbird had already done.
Graphic: Racial slurs, Racism, and Sexism
Moderate: Death and Murder
