Bildungsroman

The story in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is told from the point of view of Scout (Jean-Louise Finch), a six year old girl, through various events that happen in the town of Maycomb and in particular, the court case of Tom Robinson as her father Atticus Finch acts as Tom’s defence lawyer.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd was a funny and sweet story mixed with the serious topic of the Civil Rights Agreement of the 1960s in USA.

I think why The Catcher in the Rye by J D Salinger has been so successful over the past several decades is because of its interesting depiction of issues that only concern us as we get older.
