Visually the exterior appearance is still exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the minimal fault described that prevents a slightly higher grading for the dw/dj.Despite this,it really is still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults.
Maycomb,Alabama.Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch Scout returns home from New York City to visit her aging father,Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South,Jean Louise s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family,the town,and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back,and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from 'To Kill a Mockingbird','Go Set a Watchman' perfectly captures a young woman,and a world,in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past a journey that can only be guided by one's own conscience.
Written in the mid-1950s,'Go Set a Watchman' imparts a fuller,richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humour, and effortless precision - a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance of 'To Kill a Mockingbird',but also serves as its essential companion,adding depth, context,and new meaning to an American classic.
