Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone… af Alexandria Ripley
First published in 1991 - It just didn't cut the muster. I read back in 1996. I don't even remember the details...just how horrible it was compared to Gone With the Wind. It wasn't even written by the same author. I, unfortunately, wouldn't consider this book as classic with Gone With the Wind.
I read this when it first was published, since GWTW is one of my favorites. What a disappointment. The characters Margaret Mitchell created would never behave like the ones in this sequel.
I love this book! I totally reccomend it to anyone looking for a family saga that starts just after the Civil War and spans to just after Prohibition. Locations in Charleston, London, France, and New York.
Since I haven't read it in years, I can't remember names, but I do know that once you start it you won't be able to put it down.
It follows a woman from birth to her thirties.
It would take too long to give a synopsis, all I can say is if you like Historical Fiction, set in that time frame, you would love this book!
I only wish that it was both available in e-book format and the audiobook isn't abridged.… (mere)
