A landmark new novel from Harper Lee, set two decades after her beloved
Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb,
Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch - 'Scout' - returns home
from New York City to visit her ageing 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. Memories from her
childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into
doubt. 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 be guided only 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, humour and effortless precision - a
profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of
another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the
enduring brilliance of To Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its
essential companion, adding depth, context and new meaning to a classic.
