r_s_tea 's review for:
Gone With the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
I've on-and-off tried to read this for years and finally powered through. It was difficult for me to keep reading about Scarlett - as a deeply devoted character-development person, she didn't give me much to hang on for. And I'm interested in the idea of exploring the failures of Reconstruction, but maybe in a way that wasn't racist. And I don't mean "black-people-are-evil" racist, but I do mean "black-people-are-intellectually-inferior" racist. Some of those parts really made me want to close the book.
But I am genuinely interested to hear from anyone who liked it. And also would love recommendations of Reconstruction-era fiction and/or non-fiction if you have any!
