The "sequel" to To Kill A Mockingbird is to be published.

BBC

One I will certainly read, and hope for the best.
 
Steering well clear. Harper Lee never wanted it published, she apparently has dementia now, and her sister who protected her legacy died 3 months ago. Pure greed by the publishers.

There's only one website that is currently saying that, and even they say "reportedly in ill-health". Given that she doesn't talk to the media that is pure speculation on their part.

However, should they turn out to be correct, then I may also steer clear.

I've also just read an article on the death of her sister, Alice Lee, which states:

Miss Lee practiced law until she was 100. Harper Lee was said to have driven her sister to work in the latter years of her legal career. As they aged, both sisters lost much of their hearing.

She was allowed to drive with dementia?
 
Apparently it was written before To Kill a Mockingbird but her editor encouraged her to write a new novel from the young Scout's perspective.

There certainly seems to be a lot of doubt about whether Harper Lee has given her consent to the publishing of the novel now after the manuscript was found last year.
