"Waiting on" Wednesday: Go Set a Watchman


Today I'm joining Breaking the Spine for "Waiting on" Wednesday


My selection for my "can't-wait-to-read" pre-publication book is:

Go Set a Watchman
by Harper Lee

Publication Date: July 14th


Yes, that Harper Lee, of To Kill a Mockingbird fame. I'm extremely excited to read this one.



From Barnes and Noble:

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.
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. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.
