One thing I'm delighted that I did before reading this book was to reread TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I'd forgotten how beautifully the author had described life in a small Southern town in the 1930s. Now, it is twenty years later and there are new stresses in Maycomb, Alabama.
Scout is now 26-years-of-age and has returned home from New York City (where she lives and works), for a two-week visit. Several of the characters in the previous book are in this novel. However, this novel is about Scout becoming her own person. Throughout her life, Scout has lived in awe of her father, finding him perfect in every way. Now, she has to come to grips with the fact that her father is just a man.
I found this to be an immensely satisfying book; both as a later chapter in the lives of the Finches and as an explanation of some of the relationships in the first book. 4.5 stars
