Trade ReviewLee explores with
exuberant humourthe irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. * The Week *
Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humour. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable. * Truman Capote *
There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written * Sunday Times *
No one ever forgets this book * Independent *
One of the best novels I remember ... uniquely unsentimental * Guardian *
