Media Reviews

Equally significant today, and imbued with Lee's wisdom, humanity and humour. -- Justine East * Independent *
It ignited a fascinating debate on the place and portrayal of racism in both books, as well as about the magic and hard graft of novel writing. -- Justine Jordan * Guardian *
The caveats surrounding this companion volume to To Kill a Mockingbird melt away as you read the opening chapters and reacquaint yourself with Lee's beguiling narrative style - warm, sardonic, wryly funny, a sassy Southern voice...Go Set a Watchman zips along. * Sunday Times *
