To kill a mocking bird

Just finished reading Harper Lee’s ‘To kill a mocking bird’. Published in 1960s, a Pulitzer Prize winning piece of literature is a story revolving round Finch family of Maycomb Country. Its a story of Atticus Finch, a white lawyer in fifties, who takes up the case of Tom Robinson, a Negro.
I instantly fell in love with Atticus, who is not a ‘conventional’ hero. A doting father of Jem and Scout, a well read lawyer and above all a gem of human being, the character of Atticus will always remained ingrained in my mind and serve as an anchor in today’s muddled life. – I would love to meet ‘Atticus’ in real life
