bibliotequeish 's review for:

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

5.0

---

" Was Tara still standing? Or was Tara also gone with
the wind which had swept through Georgia? "

Margaret Mitchell's epic classic of life in the South is (and for good reason) one of the most popular books ever written.
Exploring the life of well to do Georgians during the American Civil war, and carrying through to the "Reconstitution Era" Gone with the Wind is a controversial retelling of what life was like for the staunch Southerners well-meaning or not.

With an arguably unlikable protagonist Mitchell forces you to look past your initial opinion of Scarlett O'Hara, eventually seeing her character develop into a deeper (while still quite shallow) person.

Expertly written this classic is a daunting must-read.
