vsobaka05 's review for:
Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
If one reads this book as being from the perspective of a Confederate woman, which it is, then it is undeniably stunningly written. The two leads are insufferable in many ways, but Scarlett is still a worthy heroine that is intriguing to read about.
Obviously, the historical context of the book is horribly glossed over and paints the South as being a glorious time, but again, that's what the characters in this book believe. If this book is taught in school, that must be emphasized repeatedly. It is entirely revisionist, fantastical history, not something that should be used to learn about the Civil War and the atrocities of slavery.
