9. Break-up

Jean Louise reluctantly confronts Atticus about his involvement in the racist Citizens' Council. Read by Fenella Woolgar.

Harper Lee's explosive second novel was finally published in 2015. Believed lost for decades after the publication of 'To Kill A Mockingbird', this book revisits much-loved characters, this time through adult eyes.

Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch travels from New York to Maycomb for her annual visit home.

But mid-50s Alabama is not the same place where young Scout spent idyllic summers with brother Jem, and the 26-year old will be betrayed and have her trust shattered before she is able to become her own woman.

Jean Louise reluctantly confronts Atticus about the Citizens' Council.
