Riassunto

THE LANDMARK SECOND NOVEL FROM ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST WRITERS

'A pleasure, revelation and genuine literary event' GUARDIAN
'Beguiling and distinctive' INDEPENDENT
'Warm, sardonic ... wryly funny' SUNDAY TIMES
'Perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades' NEW YORK TIMES
'Compelling in its timeliness' WASHINGTON POST

‘Every man’s island, Jean Louise, every man’s watchman, is his conscience.’

Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch – ‘Scout’ – returns home from New York City to visit her ageing 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.

Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, and set twenty years after Harper Lee’s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Go Set a Watchman is an unforgettable story.
