Mockingbird Summer by Lynda Rutledge
4.0
challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Evocative and - in places - infuriating portrayal of small town America in the early 1960s where racism and racial discrimination is just a taken for granted part of life. Interesting storyline and believable young characters.
