The Harper Lee controversy

  
HARPERThe alleged cover for 'Go Set a Watchman' has appeared on publishing websites and Amazon.com.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/harper-lee-set-watchman-cover-allegedly-surfaces-article-1.2107037

Dear Charlie,
I imagine, you know "To Kill a Mockingbird." because you've either read the book by Harper Lee or seen its film adaptation by Robert Mulligan. Or both because this book is a bestseller, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Academy Award winning movie is a classic.

Many people love it and remember its words and message:







This book was the only one  by Harper Lee and everyone believed that it would remain so until a few days ago.
A sudden bolt from the blue!  A sequel to the book is to be published next summer (on Bastille day) and  this causes much ado.

Lots of food for thoughts in these articles, isn't it?

Will you read the sequel or not? I don't know yet myself but I'm sure to pick up To Kill a Mockingbird and read it again soon.
Best,
Mrs. C.
