The setting, as in
To Kill a Mockingbird, is Maycomb, Alabama. Jean Louise Finch (a.k.a. Scout) has returned from New York for a visit with her dad, Atticus, who is now in his seventies. She is now 26 years-old, and is surprised by the attitude her hometown has towards the "Negroes." She is disheartened by what she perceives as Atticus's "bigotry." I can see what the author is trying to get across with this novel, but I found Atticus a much more believable character than the grown up Scout.
