Look for The Land of Sweet Forever, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces by Harper Lee, coming October 21, 2025.Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American ReadHarper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatredOne of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

Modern love story, set in Cornwall and interwoven with the living past of five generations of the Quin family, and illustrative of life - as Chaucer says - as a "thinne subtil knittinge of thinges". A medieval book of hours plays a part in the plot.

This is a story of Judea at the time of the crucifixion, with a young Roman, sated with excesses of pleasure, in a period of doubt, fear, and searching. Marcus is running away from a love affair with a matron, virtually exiled from Rome. In Alexandria he waited for a year for her to join him. Then, driven by an impulse he does not recognize, he leaves Alexandria for Jerusalem. He writes a succession of long diary letters, not sent, but kept as a record. For as he enters Jerusalem he is met by the sight of the crucifixion, and his life is never the same again. He feels emotional shock, curiosity, and an overwhelming need to know the truth behind the sign above the cross: King of the Jews. Spurned by those who had been closest to Jesus, helped by the women -- Mary Magdalen, Mary and Martha, Mary of Beret, even obliquely by Pontius Pilate's wife, Claudia -- helped too finally by Simon of Cyrene and Zaccheus, who fear contact with the defiled Roman. Marcus, bit by bit and recurrently doubting, finds himself convinced. Jesus had risen and was walking the earth as a man again. Rejected by the disciples, Marcus finds his own answers, his own conviction, and his own way.
