To Kill a Mockingbird

Scout Finch is a six-year-old girl, an orphan of a mother, who lives with her brother, Jem, and her father, Atticus - a respectable lawyer - in the imaginary southern village of Maycomb. The children also have a friend, named Dill. The narrative takes place during a summer in the middle of the Great Depression and revolves around two episodes: on the one hand, to the fascination and terror that the children feel for the figure of Boo Radley, a mysterious and fermented neighbor; and on the other, the trial in which Atticus decides to act as a defender, in which a black man is accused of raping a white woman.
