One of the most recommended classics and one of the most innocently written, To kill a mockingbird revolves around a small family, the Finches. The narrator is a 9 year old girl who is still unaware of the injustice the world holds and still sees the world with her pure and curious gaze. The rumours of neighborhood always get the best of children and growing up they realise that their beliefs and their character need to go through a lot of worldly obstacles in order to be formed in a certain way, evil or good.
Children see the world in a different light, with a thin layer of goodness always protecting their eyes and as they get older they realise the true essence of the world, its functioning, its injustice, its disparities and if fortunate enough, sometimes, the ways to get through all these untouched.
Written in the 1960, the book highlights one of the most illogical human made problems, racism, that's still present in some parts of the world, in the 21st century. Would not go into details to avoid spoilers but the story is basically of the generation where, having gone through the same age, you will find a lot of stuff relatable and the injustice described will leave you bewildered. It's a true insight of the real world, where one way or another, people had just accepted the opponents' belief and were forced to live a life of limited exposure to certain things, and as always each event has something to learn from and something to oppose, but broadly the book, as being said by millions of people is definitely a good read.
