What wonderful news that there is another book by Harper Lee. Anyone who has read To Kill a Mockingbird will be waiting for the release of this new title Go Set A Watchman. It is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New Yorkto visit her father Atticus. She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood. Most people who have seen, or listened to, the news report will know that the author wrote this book first and was advised by the publisher to go back and write about Scout (the daughter of Atticus) when she was a young girl.
How wonderful for the author that this book is being published in her later years.
