Publisher's Summary

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 best-selling 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.

Not Gone with the Wind!

I thought I would enjoy this unofficial sequel. Made it to chapter 3 but couldn't go any further. There was no plot, just whining thoughts from Scarlett. Also I didn't care for the narrator. Sorry.

A great sequel

I really needed an ending or answers to Gone With the Wind and this did not disappoint! However I feel like it is written with some large differences to how Margaret Mitchell would have, and I'm not crazy about the storyline taking Scarlett where she went (I don't want to give spoilers). But you can't expect a different author to write the same way.

Filled the void created by Gone With the Wind

Did its job well- Filled the void which is why I started it but didn't offer enough of Rhett Butler. I think it didn't even mean to which is why it was named Scarlett. The end is abrupt...could have been elaborated a bit more.

Enjoying reading

This wasn’t gone with the wind but it attached to it perfectly. The characters are rich and complex. The new places gives the story different perspectives. I liked it and enjoyed it as much as the original story.

Awful. Don't waste your money.

This author has no understanding of history or imagination for complex character building. She doesn't even grasp Scarlett's character fully. These qualities are crucial to write a sequel to Gone with the Wind.

couldn't put it down

Loved listening to this. Had it on all the time. Felt the ending was a little rushed compared to the rest of the well written book. But still and enjoyed it and would recommend

Ireland

A very good sequel and goes all the way back to Ireland from where the O’Haras originated.
The details are marvellous and you have a feel as if you are there.

Wonderful Story

The characters are so real, and the trials they experienced so heart warming and heart breaking. Excellent narrative.
