Description: Sally Darling brings Harper Lee’s tour de force of a young girl’s encounter with the beauty and the ugliness of human nature to vibrant life. Scout Finch, the daughter of a southern lawyer, reflects upon her childhood years. In a series of engrossing events the tale of life in a small southern town unfolds. Never slow, the narrative moves swiftly from one action to another in highly fluid form. From the eyes of a little girl, the reader witnesses the unfolding of a series of events through which she is brought face to face with prejudice and bigotry. The forms that this prejudice takes are both subtle and obvious. Black and white, old and young, rich and poor, cultured and earthy, educated and ignorant, Scout encounters hatred and fear in almost all the people around her. Her world is shown in a series of expanding circles with herself in the center, her brother and friend next, her father and housekeeper next, then neighbors, teachers, schoolmates etc. in ever widening circles. Starting with the outermost people and working inward, the innermost hatreds of the human heart are revealed to her. As she awakens to more and more varieties of prejudice she seeks to separate herself from them. During the climax of the book, Scout is shown, for the first time, her own heart and the prejudice within. In a moving final narrative, she admits her own failing and awakens to true compassion and empathy. The narration by Sally Darling is perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the novel. In silky southern tones Ms. Darling brings the story to almost a visually compelling life. The novel introduces us to a variety of the townsfolk in a richness that makes us seem as though we ourselves live in that town, and Ms. Darling’s insightful characterizations bring the people out in an almost tangible reality. The coupling of one of the most outstanding novels of our time with the animated and believable narration provides the listener with an unparalleled experience that only gets better with each listening.
