From the Publisher
The timeless tale continues...
The most popular and beloved American historical novel
ever written, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is
unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once
larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now bestselling
writer Alexandra Ripley brings us back to Tara and
reintroduces us to the characters we remember so well:
Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Aunt Pittypat, and, of
course, Scarlett.
As the classic story, first told over half a century ago,
moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is
reignited; amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless,
consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett
Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with
surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking
adventures, Scarlett satisfies our longing to reenter the
world of Gone With the Wind, and like its predecessor,
Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.
