I always have a slight reluctance when I start out reading a book which is regarded as a "classic". It commonly seems that such books are more to do me good than provide me with enjoyment. In this case, any reluctance was misplaced, as I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover. The story is really quite simple, but the details and nuances were very skilfully portrayed by telling the story from the perspective of a young girl. All the characters were very clearly drawn, which brought them alive for me. Add to that a clear ending to the story, and I was well pleased.
The only remaining question is: should I now read Go Set a Watchman?
