Go Set a Watchman (To Kill a Mockingbird #2) by Harper Lee (2015)

This is a sequelt to To Kill a Mockingbird written 50+ years after the original.  It picks up with Scout in her mid twenties, during the 1950's, living in New York. She comes back to visit and finds Maycomb Alabama different.  Blacks are assertive and whites, including her father, are defensive.

This is not nearly as good as the original, but there is something to it.  It reflects a regression both from the 1930's to 1950's (not sure it's really) and also from when written from 1960's to 2015 (which I think is real). 

REad it, but only if you read the original first.
