"Skyd alle de skovskader, I vil, hvis I kan ramme dem, men husk at det er en synd at dræbe en sangfugl." Den lille sydstatsby Maycomb er fyldt med fordomme, vold og hykleri, så da byens respekterede sagfører, Atticus Finch, påtager sig forsvaret af en sort mand, der er anklaget for at have voldtaget en hvid kvinde, får det store konsekvenser for den lille by.Set gennem øjnene på den niårige Scout Finch udforskerHarper Lee med hjertevarmende humor de voksnes irrationelle holdning til race og samfundsklasse i 1930’ernes Alabama."Det er en helt særlig person, der har skrevet denne fremragende roman, det er en forfatter, som besidder den livligste sans for livet og den varmeste, mest autentiske humor. Det er en rørende bog; og så morsom, så vindende." – TRUMAN CAPOTE
