Summary : In a small town in Alabama, during the Great Depression, Atticus Finch raises his two children, Jem and Scout, alone. An upright and rigorous lawyer, he is appointed by the court to defend a Black man accused of raping a white woman.

This brief summary may explain why this book, published in 1960 - at the heart of the civil rights struggle for Black people in the United States - achieved such success. But how did it become a cult classic?

Harper Lee wrote a universal novel about childhood. Narrated by Scout with great humor, this story is part fairy tale, part American short story, and part coming-of-age novel.
