The novel is partly autobiographical. It deals with racial prejudice and class in [[The South|the American south]] in the early 1930s. The book is set around a framework of historical events, with references to President Roosevelt and Hitler. In the Depression-era small southern town, a racially-charged trial takes place. The defendant, an African-American man is charged with the rape of a white woman. He is defended by Atticus Finch, an attorney with a strong moral center. The story is narrated by Finch's daughter, Scout, who is aged five when the story begins, eight when it ends. Lee endows her character with streetsmarts and simple honesty such that the story is pervaded by a sense of overwhelming authenticity.
