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 against the mystery of Boo Radley, and the moral force of defense lawyer Atticus Finch. Scout, the narrator, is five when the story begins, eight when it ends. But Lee endows her with streetsmarts and simple honesty in such doses that the main impact of the story is overwhelming authenticity.
