Non-Fiction: Newspaper Article
Today I read a newspaper article Meme sent me about Harper Lee. She is coming out with a sequel to To Kill A Mockingbird. It's called Go Set A Watchman. Here is a summary of the article:
Go Set a Watchman is actually Harper Lee’s first novel she made. It showed scenes of Scout looking back onto her childhood, and the editor of the book highly encouraged her to make a novel about Scout’s past. Around the time To Kill a Mocking Bird was released (Mid-1960’s) the manuscript for Go Set a Watchman was lost. It was later found in fall 2014. The book is finished with 304 pages in total typed from a typewriter. Go Set a Watchman’s title is based on the Bible, Isaiah 21:6 “For thus hath the Lord said onto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.” The book is based on the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird but 20 years after in the 1950’s in New York.
Meme already preordered me the book, and I can't wait to read it!!!
Hope you enjoy it as much as her first book! Can’t wait to hear your report on it. Guess we have to wait, since it’s not due out till July!
