The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner of Irish descent, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O'Hara soon realizes that young men can't resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother's ladylike ways. Her romantic intrigues lead her to an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett's life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival. Both a coming-of-age tale and a historical epic, Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the great American novels, and is perhaps one of the most popular stories in the Western canon. Famously inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as the rakish but cynical Rhett Butler, it is Margaret Mitchell's only published novel, and a living testament to the irrepressible resilience of the American spirit.

This book is a treasure. It is a revealing account of the Civil War era through the eyes of a Southerner. A must read!

A masterpiece!
Though at first, the 1,000-something page book can appear daunting, it is an easy read - you'll quickly find yourself sucked in to the story and not wanting to put it down! With lively characters and an enthralling plot, Gone with the Wind will quickly become one of your favorite books, to be kept forever and read again and again!

A Classic That Holds Up
You can't go wrong with "Gone With the Wind!" If you've been putting it off, pick it up, and give yourself a treat.

Still a treat!
I hadn't read Gone with the Wind in at least 20 years. I first read it as a teenager, and reread it yearly for many years.
It is still a compelling story, with interesting characters. The racism seemed more blatant this time around, so I had to put that aside.
Scarlett O'Hara is a fictional icon, and she deserves to be. She is willful and stubborn, and has a habit of putting worrying about things off until tomorrow.
I recommend this book both as a new book to people who haven't read it, and as a re-read for people who haven't read it in a long time.
