Go Set A Watchman
Book • 2015
Written in the mid-1950s, 'Go Set a Watchman' is an early draft of what would eventually become 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
The novel follows 26-year-old Jean Louise Finch as she returns to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama, and confronts disturbing truths about her family and community.
Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and the Supreme Court decision on Brown vs.
Board of Education, the book delves into themes of disillusionment, bigotry, and the complex relationship between Jean Louise and her father, Atticus Finch.
Despite being published decades later, it provides a unique insight into Harper Lee's initial thoughts and writing style before the revisions that led to 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
