To ne honest i didnt really like the book that much. Dont get me wrong, its definitely a great book, just not my kind of story. The things that go on during trial and the prejudices people had back then still exist today. You'd be surprised how shitty the legal system can be at times. if youre going through classics, check out A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Its a similar time period and the lead character is also a young girl. Its a more personal story though. Had me bawling. Great read.
