A great sequel to Gone With The Wind! A fun, powerful love story that I’ll never forget.
I tried not to like this book, but it drew me right in! I liked it a lot better than Gone With the Wind. But, it helps to read it, because it explains Scarlett’s development as a woman. Great ending as well! Highly recommended!
Not nearly as good as Gone with the Wind.
I was so excited when I heard a sequel to my favorite novel, Gone With The Wind, was in the works many years ago. I devoured it when it was first published and again recently. It is sheer pleasure to see Scarlett mature and learn to truly love, without losing the qualities that make her so compelling.
The novel is well written, beautifully so, …
I had no idea there was a sequel to Gone with the Wind. Scarlett gives readers a much more satisfying ending between the main characters. Highly recommend.

“Scarlett” is the follow up to the one of America’s greatest novels “Gone with the wind”. Written in a modern time by a completely different author, obviously, I was overjoyed when this book was written and released by Alexandra Ripley. I was just a child who had become obsessed with “Gone With the Wind” in both book and movie form not too long …
