Harper Lee

While the blog was on hiatus US author Harper Lee, famous for writing To Kill a Mockingbird died.

That book’s sequel/prequel Go Set a Watchman was published – eliciting dismay among some of Mockingbird‘s admirers – only last year yet I (see link) found it to be
a fine, accomplished, novel.

Lee was never going to write another book. In a sense it is sad that the runaway success of To Kill a Mockingbird effectively brought her literary career to an end.

Both her books make for a fine legacy, though.

Nelle Harper Lee: 28/4/1926 – 19/2/2016. So it goes.
