Go Set a Watchman is Harper Lee's second novel, published in 2015, set two decades after To Kill a Mockingbird, featuring an adult Jean Louise "Scout" Finch returning to Maycomb, Alabama, from New York City. The book explores her disillusionment as she confronts racial tensions and discovers uncomfortable truths about her family, particularly her father, Atticus, challenging the idealized image readers have of him. Written in the mid-1950s, it offers a more complex and realistic look at the South during the Civil Rights era, forcing Scout to re-evaluate her values and the world she thought she knew.
