This week, Harper Lee, legendary author of “To Kill a Mockingbird” released a landmark new novel. In her new title “Go See a Watchman,” the main character, Scout, is an adult and returns home to visit her elderly father. This book imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. The author was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926. She is Pulitzer Prize winner and her book was a bestseller for more than 40 weeks. The movie starred Gregory Peck and won an academy award for best actor in 1963. The library has copies of both books and the movie in print and e-book.
