After over 50 years another book will be published by the 88 year old author. Famous for her American literary classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird", the author had said she would never publish another book, unless you beleive the stories about Truman Capote. The book will pick up with Scout as an adult.
It's funny sometime how things happen in life. TKM was my mother's favorite novel. I read it as a kid because it was always in a prominent place on our bookshelf. Then I move to alaBama and both of my kids had the book for reading assignments in High School. With all of us it is/was a favorite novel. And all of us came to love it independently of the others. My son who was a poor reader and detested reading read t from cover to cover and will talk about it to this day. My daughter has read it at least 20 times. Sher has been dating a guy from the small town Monroeville, the setting of TKM. I have to wonder about the Karma there.
TKM is a classic novel. It appeals to all age groups and generations. I can't wait to read the sequel. Thank you Harper
