Harper Lee’s Jean Louise Finch reappears after all these years since her earlier incarnation as little Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, as a young woman on a rapid moving train rushing from the big city back to her pine tree enclosed hometown of Maycomb, Alabama. Little will be the same, even her own name has changed back to the one on her birth certificate, and Jean Louise is not one to take such changes in stride. Her vacation is ruined indefinitely by witnessing her father seeming to stand up in support of racism, disturbing all aspects of her body, mind, and soul. Jean Louise is stubborn, willful, brash, and tells it like it is, until the end; that at least is the one thing about her universe that never changes.

From Harper Lee comes a landmark new 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 under- standing 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.

I had a challenging time with Scout's transformation from "precocious" as a child to "obnoxious" as an adult. She is so disrespectful toward Atticus in this story! Also, this book shares inaccurate information about the nature of Tom Robinson's injury to his arm. Aside from these two observations, I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
