In 1960, Harper Lee published “To Kill a Mockingbird.” On July 14, nearly fifty-five years to the day after the publication of that American classic, Ms. Lee’s second novel, “Go Set a Watchman,” will be released. To celebrate this momentous literary event, Village Books is hosting a free screening of the iconic film adaptation of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The two-hour-and-ten-minute film, featuring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, will end just before midnight, when “Go Set a Watchman” will go on sale for the first time. The new novel, though written before “To Kill a Mockingbird”, is a sequel, in which an adult Scout returns to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama, to visit her father, Atticus. She grapples with personal and political issues, her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place she was born and spent her childhood.Please join us for this once in a lifetime event!
Pre-ordering of “Go Set a Watchman” is now available in store, online, or by calling 360-671-2626.
