Go Set a Watchman

This novel, published in 2015, follows Jean Louise Finch, known as Scout, who is now a young woman living in New York. She returns by train to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama, for a visit with her aging father, Atticus, and the people she grew up with. The 1950s South she finds is changing, and so is her view of the place.

The book explores homecoming, family loyalty and the gap between a child's picture of a parent and the adult truth. Jean Louise must decide how much she belongs to the town that shaped her. It was written before To Kill a Mockingbird and is often read alongside it, though it is a separate work with its own tone and questions.
