Gone With the Wind
Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 classic Gone With the Wind is the timeless tale of spoiled and beautiful Scarlett O’Hara, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, the story takes place in Clayton County, Georgia and Atlanta during the American Civil War.
As the novel progresses, Scarlett builds a successful business that capitalizes on the struggle to rebuild the South. Driven by her unrequited love for Ashley Wilkes, a married man, she embarks upon a series of unfulfilling relationships and marriages with a steady stream of men, particularly the handsome Rhett Butler. As Rhett steadily becomes more disillusioned by his conniving and tempestuous wife, O’Hara conspires to win back his devotion.…

This time around, the review will be for my AAUW Book Club. We all have read this before, sometimes more than once, and are delightrfd to read this again.
Several of us were born in the South, traveled or lived in the South, so rerading thisssssss has many personal perspectives on that era. I am enthusiastically looking forward to our discussion.

My First Adult Book

I read it when I was 10. I remember my Aunt asked my Mom if she thought it was appropriate for me and my Mom thought it was a great idea.
I just finished reading Rhett Butler's People and it made me want to read the story again because I detected some inconsistencies between the two stories.
I plan on writing something comparing GWTW, Scarlet (which Donald McCaig obviously never read) and Rhett Butler's People as soon as I reread GWTW.
My Mother never read Scarlet. She thought that no one could tell that story other than Margaret Mitchel.

the book of the 20th Century!

I read this book when I was in High School back in the early 1960s. I have seen worn out copies of it and I have read GWTW several times. I did not know it was back in print until this afternoon. So I am ordering the book again, and I am reading it again. My wife don't know it. She claims that I have over a thousand books in our house and that maybe I ought to start trying to sell them. No WAY, will I do that. I have traveled to worlds unkown to man and never left my living room. Yeah, I got more time to read now since I've retired almost two years ago. So we still take that drive every Sunday to church and back home and again in the evening. While in the army during the Vietnam Years, I read GWTW four times from 1966 to 1972. Margaret Mitchell ws a great author, not that I remember if she wrote anything else. But her Gone With The Wind has enthralled men and women alike for the last 80 years!

I have read this book several times and never tire of it. I have always loved history and anything written about the Old South and history I'm hooked. I would also recommend the sequel "Scarlett" It continues Scarlett and Rhett's story and it too was just as hard to put down. I don't know the author of "Scarlett" though.

Gone With The Wind
March 22, 2010
I read this book over forty years ago when I was twelve. I wanted to get a different take on the Civil War (parts in the book I passed over at that young age)now as an adult. It was thoroughly enjoyable. My only complaint is the copy I received - many dark ink spotches and whole sentences faded and hard to read. This is prevelant throughout the book. Did I receive some publishers reject?
