declaired 's review for:
The Wind Done Gone: A Novel
by Alice Randall
I think I did end up liking this quite a bit. it's ... really interesting. it's a retelling of gone with the wind from the perspective of a (non-existent?) character, scarlett's half-sister, an enslaved girl, who eventually marries rhett butler and then moves on with her life. the author clearly ... deeply engaged with GWTW on a real level - about halfway through i was like 'you can't do this if you don't like the original' but haunts it. i admit i'm mostly fascinated by the recolonizing in the text of the plantation, that it always belonged to the enslaved who ran it, that they organized the whole thing - the marriage of Planter and Ellen, the purchase of the plantation, the whole thing. it was their house, really. It's interesting.
