Description
Gone With The Wind … dramatic, romantic,
sweeping in its depiction of a time and a place in
history, in its portrayal of men and women at once
larger than life and as real as ourselves … the book
that, for over half a century, has been the most
praised, the most popular, and the most beloved
historical novel ever written.
Now, the story begun in Margaret Mitchell’s
magnificent classic continues the greatest love
affair in all fiction between Scarlett O’Hara and
Rhett Butler.
Scarlett seamlessly picks up the narrative,
bringing us back to Tara and the people we
remember so well: Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen,
Aunt Pittypat, and, of course, Scarlett herself. We
meet fascinating new men and women who enrich
and enlarge the story. And we get to know many
characters who stayed in the background of
Gone With The Wind, as they step forward in this long-awaited sequel.
What happens to Ashley now that Melanie is
gone? Does Scarlett find a way to get Rhett back?
What. new joys, frustrations and adventures does
the future hold? Using the elements and events set
in motion in Margaret Mitchell’s novel, rich with
surprises and exciting developments, Scar/ett is
an irresistible and colourful read that stands on
its own, even as it satisfies our longing to re-enter
the world of Gone With The Wind. Here then is its
worthy successor, a book to treasure and savour as
long as Scarlett and Rhett have a place in our
hearts and our imaginations.
Alexandra Ripley, chosen by the Margaret Mitchell
estate to write this sequel, was born and bred in the South and is the author of
