7. Maycomb Ladies

Jean Louise is left shocked after catching Atticus and Hank at a racist meeting. 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 is left shocked after catching Atticus and Hank at a racist meeting.
