What a remarkable novel.

The stoy written from the point of view of a little girl,
Scout, takes the reader back to the start of 30s in Alabama.
The main plot is about a lawsuit against a black man
who has been accused raping a woman, and Scouts father
defending him.
I liked the book on many levels. First of all it is
a plea for humanism and equality.
But it has it strengths in many other aspects as well.
For instance Scout, a wild little girl, growing
up and learning about the world with its
social norms and rules. By that, her unprejudiced view allows
her to reveal conflicting behaviour of people.
Her father Atticus is characterised as such a calm and
honest person. He has so much empathy, especially for
his kids who he treats like grown ups. But also for
people who act racist or begrudgin against him.
His fight for social changes and making a change
in the little is really inspiring.

A book that still highly topical for the time we live in.
