Go Set a Watchman
The Pearl That Broke Its Shell
Harper Lee
Nadia Hashimi
• “A fascinating look at the unspoken lives of Afghani
women, separated by generations and miles, yet
achingly similar. This is a story to transport you and
make you think.”
— Shilpi Somaya Gowda, New York Times
bestselling author of Secret Daughter
• Scout Finch returns to Maycomb, Alabama 20
years after To Kill a Mockingbird amidst the
turbulent political scene of the 1950s.
"There are so many wonderful parts of Go Set a Watchman that it
was hard to pick just one iconic image to represent the book. This
design is perfect—it draws on the style of the decade the book was
written, but with a modern twist. Go Set a Watchman begins with
Scout's train ride home, but more profoundly, it is about the
journey Harper Lee's beloved characters have taken in the
subsequent 20 years of their lives.“
—Michael Morrison,
President and Publisher U.S. General Books and Canada
