It seems long-winded at first because Lee is so thorough in giving background and setting up the story but it all comes together for a bitter-sweet conclusion.
There's so much warmth in this novel, which runs right alongside sadness, particularly when drawing the inevitable parallels between then and now in terms of prejudice and race relations, but you end the book thinking progress, even when slow, does come -
hopefully.
A definite recommend.
