Halfway thru Harper Lee's new book ( no spoilers)

I see her in a much different light now.

This book could not have been released at a better time in light of recent events....the kid killer, the issue with the flag, etc.

Also a good read, very absorbing.

I hope all the gossip type hype will disappear and the book can discussed in terms of what it is about.
I totally get why it could not have been published in 1956-1960.

Anyone else reading it?
