First, a disclaimer-
I am not a literature buff, but I did always like the story To Kill a Mockingbird. That and the fact that Harper Lee was a very interesting person in her time.
Ok, so the news of a "newly found" manuscript written before TKAM made the literature world giddy yesterday.
it was found by Lee's publisher- supposedly hidden away for 50 years.
Coincidentally, Lee's sister Alice, a local attorney near where I live, recently past away. She had taken care of Harper's legal affairs and business dealings for years. So she dies, and all the sudden a rediscovered manuscript- plus Harper is in assisted living, practically deaf and blind.....
Sorry- I smell a rat- a big, greedy, lying rat.
"Harper's new lawyer, Tonja Carter, has managed her affairs since Alice retired in 2012, aged 100.
It was Carter who found the manuscript of the second novel, Harper has said, and she who negotiated the publishing deal to publish the book with HarperCollins."
