She wrote one novel.
One novel that won the Pulitzer Prize.
One novel that still sells millions of copies a year.
One novel with rich characters and textures and layers.
One novel with a poignant message.
One novel that says everything she wanted to say.
One novel yes, but what a novel.
It's funny, I was actually talking about To Kill A Mockingbird this weekend, and I called her Lee Harper. Well, at least now I won't forget!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I can't really remember too much about her book from when I read it in high school. I think I was distracted when I was reading it too. I'm assuming it's worth re-reading? ;)
I plan on rereading it. It's been a long time since I have, but I know the storyline and I read a chapter on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's really well-written. I think I would definitely appreciate it more now than I did my first time reading it. I love when the commentary in a novel can resonate much further than the events written about in the one story (social commentary and the like...but in a more subtle way).
