Now available in a gorgeous, limited leatherbound edition, Harper Lee's
landmark #1 New York Times bestselling novel 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 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. 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 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. 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 an
American classic.
