myeverskye 's review for:
Rhett Butler's People
by Donald McCaig
So I just happened upon this book a couple of weeks ago & I had never heard anything about it. I was totally excited that there was another book out there about my favorite characters after reading [b:Gone with the Wind|18405|Gone With The Wind|Margaret Mitchell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166913011s/18405.jpg|3358283] & Scarlett numerous times. This book definitly has a different feel to it than GWTW or Scarlett, a very masculine perspective which is obviously appropriate since it's mainly about Rhett Butler. It was so interesting to see so many holes filled that GWTW left in it's plot. We know what Scarlett is doing but Rhett remained for the most part mysterious. Now, with Rhett Butler' People, we get to not only see what Rhett really thought, felt & did during the many times away from Scarlett (maybe while she was with her many husbands), but we also get to see where he came from, how he grew up & what brought him to meet Scarlett in the first place. Donald McCaig does a great job translating the romance from GWTW over but also showing more of the harsh realities of war & particularly the Civil War. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
