“Go Set a Watchman is such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades."" — New York Times
A landmark novel by Harper Lee, set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—“Scout”—returns home to Maycomb, Alabama 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 the late 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.

She could write and Reese Witherspoon sure could speak.

Virker lidt som en skitse eller ufærdig. Hvor To Kill A Mockingbird er fantastisk, er denne løsere og mere uklart fortalt. Men fremragende oplæst.

To kill a mockingbird har været min yndlingsbog siden jeg var 11 år. Derfor har jeg aldrig ville læse fortsættelsen, fordi jeg ikke ville rykke på den følelse og oplevelse bogen gav mig.Go set a watchman!!! Hvorfor har jeg ikke læst den før?! Min anden yndlingsfortælling nu. Harper Lee skrev kun disse to bøger, for hun mente ikke at hun havde mere at sige. Men når man har sagt så meget som hun gør med de to bøger på sådan en fantastisk vis, så er det vist heller ikke nødvendigt.
