Wonderful insights into racism in the US Southern States in the 50's. Has just come out: her first novel which at the time of writing, nobody would publish.

I took so long time to complete this one.I liked the rusty theme and smell of Maycomb county but as every other review I could not say I was licked with wisdom after reading itm.
