Maycomb, Alabama, twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch- "Scout" - returns home from New York City to visit her ageing father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go set the Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past-a journey that can be guided only by one's own conscience.
