Go Set a Watchman, a Novel, by Harper Lee
Maycomb, Alabama. 26-year-old Jean Louise Finch-"Scout"- returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past- a journey that can only be guided by one's own conscience.
Written in the mid-1950s Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humor and effortless precision, a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times.
