To publish second novel

A recently rediscovered novel by Lee, Go Set a Watchman, which is set 20 years after the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, will be published in July. The novel was actually completed before Mockingbird. Lee had to be persuaded to release the novel.

After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication.

Publisher Michael Morrison:

I, along with millions of others around the world, always wished that Harper Lee had written another book. And what a brilliant book this is.
