About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

One of the greatest American novels ever written.

Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Loved the book and the characters. I had separation pangs when I finished the book thinking I will never know how Scout and Jem grow up. Unfortunately, the questions raised on race relationships are still as relevant as they were then. Sissy did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. A must read/ hear

One to cherish

One of the best stories ever written and whose themes are as relevant as ever. Told from the perspective of Scout a young girl just starting school whose child like innocence reveals a vivid world of characters and life in Maycombe county in the 1930’s. What initially seems idyllic slowly reveals deeply seated racial prejudices that lead to a tragic miscarriage of justice. Scout’s life revolves around spending time with her older brother Jem and their Father Atticus Finch. Atticus has to be one of the best depictions of a decent and loving father (and lawyer) and provides the moral centre of a story helping Scout and Jem navigate the prejudices they see without ever losing a sense of hope. This is a story everyone should read or listen to. Sissy Spacek does a masterful reading vividly bringing the characters and the world of To Kill A Mocking Bird alive - unmissable and unforgettable.

Timeless Classic - if you love this book you will love this audio version.

I love this book, I first read it when I was at school and have many times since. This time I decided to listen to it whilst at work. I wasn't sure aboit the performer though, I know the accent suits the story, but it is a bit annoying.

One of my favourite books of all time
