"Originally written in the mid-1950s, 'Go set a watchman' was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before 'To kill a mockingbird.' Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. 'Go set a watchman' features many of the characters from 'To kill a mockingbird' some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch--Scout--struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her. Exploring how the characters from 'To kill a mockingbird' are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, 'Go set a watchman' casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee's enduring classic."--From publisher's description.
