I think her age alone wasn't enough to enfeeble her, but combined with the stroke and whatever other medical issues she had, she was easy pickings.Elizabeth Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207536110886973913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-51061141061274149302016-02-25T14:40:26.345-05:002016-02-25T14:40:26.345-05:00I'm boycotting Go Set a Watchman myself.

If Harper Lee knew better not to publish it when she was younger, she never should have been talked into releasing it when she was obviously too old to realize what she was agreeing to. Shame on the publishing house for taking advantage of her. They muddied her name forever.MicheleinCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993284443269908416noreply@blogger.com
