Go Set a Watchman (Hardback)

Shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year 2015

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most iconic and widely read novels of the twentieth century, and now, fifty-five years after its original publication, a sequel has been announced.

 Go Set a Watchman 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 York to 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.

After To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960, Harper Lee set aside Go Set a Watchman, and never returned to it. The original manuscript of the novel was considered to have been lost until the autumn of 2014, when Tonja Carter discovered it in a secure location where it had been affixed to an original typescript of To Kill a Mockingbird. 

‘A new work, and a pleasure, revelation and genuine literary event.’

Mark Lawson, The Guardian
