Now in mass market, the previously unpublished novel by Harper Lee, the beloved author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Go Set a Watchman is Harper Lee's earliest known novel. Originally written in the mid-1950s, this was the novel Harper Lee first presented to her publishers. She later went on to write To Kill a Mockingbird and put this novel aside. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014, and is now to be published for the first time in July 2015.
Taking place 20 years after the events of To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman looks at the characters of the world famous novel as they adjust to the turbulent political events of the mid-1950s in America. Jean-Louise Finch (known in her childhood as Scout) is making a visit back to Maycomb, Alabama where she confronts the ghosts of her own past. Meeting up with a former boyfriend still determined to have her hand in marriage, she responds to the town where she was born with a mixture of affection and sadness. Revisiting old friends and family members, and trying to come to terms with her complex feelings about her father, Atticus.
Moving, funny and compelling, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating light on the famous To Kill a Mockingbird, and stands as a magnificent novel in its own right. Its publication is an important historic literary event. Harper Lee's great novel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird has sold over 40 million copies worldwide since its publication. Its many fans will be fascinated and delighted by this novel.

A little disappointed...

Already after reading the first few pages of the book I was disappointed. TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD is one of my favorite books, I love the portrayal of the characters and the narrative perspective in which it is written. GO SET A WATCHMAN differs completely. Characters that we loved are either not there anymore or have changed immensely. I am not going to go too much into detail, in order not to spoil it for those of you who want to read it, but let me say this: the only moments I enjoyed throughout this book were the childhood memories from Jean Louise.
