Well I have finished it and I am feeling quite sad. Promise, no spoilers, but this is not a comfortable and cosy read. It really shows how what you believed as a child is not necessarily so . I had to keep reminding myself that this novel was written before 'To Kill a Mockingbird' . Scout, who now has reverted to her name. Jean Louise, finds it very difficult to understand life in Maycombe, so different from where she now lives in New York, and that her Father, Atticus Finch, is not the person that she thought he was when she was a child and he was the centre of her universe. Read it if you are able, I thoroughly enjoyed it, a tear or two accompanied the last third of the book .
