Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig
3.0

This book was painful to get through the first three quarters, and then suddenly fantastic for the last bit. Really hard to care about a bunch of rich white slaver problems, even though I could tell the point was supposed to show how much we shouldn't care about rich white slaver problems... but at the end of the day the story was still all about them. Once the book gets to after the Civil War and starts focusing more on Scarlett, Melly, Rosemary, and Belle the story becomes much more engaging and I couldn't put it down. I wish I could give this book a higher rating because I know I will be thinking about it for a long time, but I'm just not sure if I'll be thinking about it because it was actually good.
