HarperCollins released the cover for Harper Lee’s highly anticipated new novel, “Go Set a Watchman,” on Wednesday, and hinted at new details about the book. The cover — a classic and melancholy image of a dark tree with sparse yellow leaves against a dusky blue sky, with a train approaching from the distance — is emblematic of the opening of the book, which begins with a grown-up Scout’s train ride from New York to her childhood home of Maycomb, Ala. . .

The narrative of “Go Set a Watchman” unfolds in the 1950s, 20 years after “To Kill a Mockingbird,” as Scout travels to Maycomb to visit her aging father Atticus Finch. Though the characters and setting will be familiar to fans of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” there is little overlap between the two novels otherwise, Ms. Lee’s publisher and literary agent say.

The cover, designed by Jarrod Taylor in the Harper Art Department at HarperCollins, reflects Scout’s journey home, Michael Morrison, the president and publisher of HarperCollins, said in a statement.
