Good summer reading
available on Amazon and wherever fine books are sold.
“Go Set A Watchman” is 89 year-old
Harper Lee’s first novel in 55 years after the landmark “To
Kill A Mockingbird” stunned the literary world in 1960 and won a
Pulitzer Prize.
While “the jury” may be out for a while,
reviewing “Watchman” this time of year brings back the elegant
word picture Lee shared in that never to be forgotten, first-person narrative
style of “Mockingbird” about her memories of Macomb County,
Alabama during the 1930s.
Somehow it was hotter then;
a black dog suffered on a summer’s day; bony mules hitched to
Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks
in the square. Men’s stiff collars wilted away by nine in the
morning.
Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o’clock naps and
by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet
talcum. |
