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.

Great book!

the first few chapters word difficult to read but after some initial chapters it's very easy to understand the story and it progress at a good pace.
I personally loved the book and found that the views of a child being changed after being or watching these situations.
Some harsh truth about reality makes us feel a bit uneasy but it's the truth.
The way the characters grew up was amazing.
Loved the book!

Truly marvellous!

Beautifully narrated, absolutely wonderfully written classic. This is exactly what children should grow up reading, and adults must aspire to become. While the book takes you through moments of the everyday life of 2 young children, it teaches you and inspires you of a long-forgotten morale of love, togetherness, kindness, truth, and justice. It reminds you of the sheer reality of life and inspires you to be a better person. A truly must-read book!

A must read classic

Beautifully written, it’s a must read classic. It’s my second time reading the book. The voice over perhaps did not do justice to the book. Enjoyed all the same.
