Sinopsis:

Críticas: "Go Set a Watchman is such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades...--New York Times Opinion Pages: Taking Note

"Go Set a Watchman provides valuable insight into the generous, complex mind of one of America's most important authors."--USA Today

"Harper Lee's second novel sheds more light on our world than its predecessor did."--Time

"[Go Set a Watchman] contains the familiar pleasures of Ms. Lee's writing- the easy, drawling rhythms, the flashes of insouciant humor, the love of anecdote."--Wall Street Journal

"Don't let 'Go Set a Watchman' change the way you think about Atticus Finch...the hard truth is that a man such as Atticus, born barely a decade after Reconstruction to a family of Southern gentry, would have had a complicated and tortuous history with race."--Los Angeles Times

"The success of Go Set a Watchman... lies both in its depiction of Jean Louise reckoning with her father's beliefs, and in the manner by which it integrates those beliefs into the Atticus we know."--Time

"Go Set a Watchman's greatest asset may be its role in sparking frank discussion about America's woeful track record when it comes to racial equality."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Lee's ability with description is evident... with long sentences beautifully rendered and evoking a world long lost to history, but welcoming all the same."--CNN.com

"A coming-of-age novel in which Scout becomes her own woman...Go Set a Watchman's voice is beguiling and distinctive, and reminiscent of Mockingbird. (It) can't be dismissed as literary scraps from Lee's imagination. It has too much integrity for that."--The Independent

"One overarching theme that many critics have zeroed in on is that there is a lot to learn from the novel, as both a writer and a reader."--Vulture
