Consider To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Recommended by 14 sources.
“Through Scout Finch's eyes, this novel turns a 1930s Alabama town into a richly felt world. The trial of a black man falsely accused gives it moral weight, but the real pull is the slow burn of childhood—dirt yards, summer games, and the mystery of Boo Radley. It's warm, often funny, and deeply human. The pacing will test your patience, though: the first hundred pages meander. And the dialect, thick as molasses, may slow you further. The saintly Atticus can feel like a sermon, which some readers find uplifting while others find preachy.”
