Honestly I just feel confused about this book. I think that’s in part because it feels messy and unfocused and there’s doubt as to whether Lee ever meant for it to be published. I really wasn’t surprised to hear that it started as a first draft of Mockingbird, because it reads that way.
I don’t know. I think this book is worthwhile reading, it’s a more adult and nuanced take on the comforting parable that is Mockingbird. Just be prepared that you might not actually enjoy reading it and you might not be able to put your finger on why.

I adored “To Kill a Mockingbird,” it’s one of the books where I would give nearly anything to read it again for the first time. But since that isn’t possible, this book helped me get a sort of closure (which sounds stupid) but it really worked. Because the themes used in both books were tied together in a different way, it helped dat more to read this than to just do nothing after reading “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Man sollte das Werk isoliert vom ursprünglichen Roman betrachten. Es ist gut, wenn man beim Lesen an einzelne Zusammenhänge aus "Wer die Nachtigall stört" denkt, aber man muss sich immer im Klaren darüber sein, dass es sich hier NICHT um eine Fortsetzung handelt - sonst wird man verrückt. Man sollte auch bedenken, dass die Autorin dieses Werk bis zuletzt nicht veröffentlichen wollte.
Es ist ein wirklich tolles Buch - ich empfehle es uneingeschränkt. Es lässt mich ein wenig mehr nachdenken, als es der Ursprungsroman tat. Dennoch bleibt das Original mein Favorit.
