1. Homeward Bound

'To Kill a Mockingbird' won Harper Lee the Pulitzer Prize. Her book has been studied, loved, wept over and revered by generations since its publication in 1960.

Her explosive second novel ‘Go Set a Watchman’ was believed to be ‘lost’ for decades, until it finally appeared in 2015.

It revisits much-loved characters, this time through adult eyes.

Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch travels from New York to Maycomb for her annual visit home. It's always a relief to slip into the comfortable rhythms of the South; to spend time with her beloved father Atticus and rekindle her spiky relationship with Aunt Alexandra.

But mid-1950s Alabama is not the same place where young Scout spent idyllic summers with brother Jem, and the 26-year old will be betrayed and have her trust shattered before she is able to become her own woman.

Omnibus of the first five of ten parts abridged by Robin Brooks.

Read by Fenella Woolgar.

Producer: Eilidh McCreadie.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2015.
