Go Set a Watchman, by Harper Lee (or, how to shatter an illusion)

During my time of vision loss, this book was published, and I was devastated, as I couldn’t read it, and the audiobook was to take some time to be released. I must preface this by saying I am a massive fan of To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s first novel from some forty years ago. I first read it in high school, and fell in love with the characters and the growing awareness the central character, Scout, develops of the racial tension going on around her. Her most patient and civilised father, Atticus, the local lawyer, helps her to navigate the complexities of small town Alabama.
