| Go Set A Watchman Fifty-five years after Harper Lee’s Pulitzer-prize winning, critically acclaimed novel To Kill A Mockingbird was published, a sequel has finally arrived. Go Set A Watchman was actually written before To Kill A Mockingbird, but at the urging of Lee’s agent, she rewrote the story from young Scout’s point of view, and that novel ended up being published while the original draft was shelved. After having lost the Go Set A Watchman draft for decades, its discovery prompted the author to authorise its publication. Go Set A Watchman hit the shelves on Tuesday and can be purchased at RM95.90 from MPH stores nationwide. |
Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania tells the true story of the last crossing of the infamous HMS Lusitania as it was sunk by German U-boats during the height of World War I. On May 1, 1915, the Lusitania sank with 1,962 passengers on board. Of those, only 761 survived. Until 1914, passenger ships were exempt from attack by either side, however, this soon changed as these ships were thought to contain war cargo such as ammunition. The sinking of the Lusitania was significant at the time abecause it helped turn public sentiment against Germany, as well as contributed to the American entry into the war. Hundreds of Americans perished in the sinking alongside Britons. Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, written by Erik Larsen, can be purchased at RM99.90 at MPH stores nationwide. |
