HARPER LEE: A PANEL DISCUSSION
with HADLEY FREEMAN, PHILIPPE SANDS, LOUISA YOUNG
& ISABEL ADOMAKOH YOUNG

The discovery of Harper Lee’s early work, Go Set a Watchman is perhaps the most significant literary event of the decade.  The book itself is heavily embargoed until July 14 so L&R is marking publication day with a panel discussion about To Kill a Mockingbird, the iconic novel which has been for so many readers a first foray into grown-up fiction.

Our panel includes an American journalist who grew up with the book as a key text, a human rights lawyer, a best-selling novelist and an undergraduate whose first reading of the book is still a fresh experience.

Hadley Freeman is a columnist and staff writer for The Guardian.  She is the author of three books, most recently Life Moves Pretty Fast.

Philippe Sands QC is a barrister at Matrix Chambers, professor of law at University College London, and author of a number of books. 

Louisa Young is the best-selling, prize-winning author of twelve books; her most recent is The Heroes Return.  

Isabel Adomakoh Young, Louisa’s daughter, co-wrote with her the best-selling Lionboy trilogy for children.
