Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling continuation of Margaret Mitchell's beloved historical romance novel, Gone With the Wind.
The most popular and beloved American historical novel ever written, Gone With the Wind is unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now 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. Like its predecessor, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.

Entertaining Sequel to my favorite book
Scarlett was an entertaining, "can't put down" read. Although it doesn't have the same caliber as Gone with the Wind, it gave fans of the Mitchell classic what they asked for, what happened next in the life of one of the most beloved heroines.
My all time favorite books!
I have read Scarlett many times. I absolutely love the story. Scarlett gets what she has coming to her in this book, but also goes through a life-changing transformation of her character (but not too much so). I am waiting and hoping for an audio version. I have actually purchased and listened to Dixie Carter read an abridged version on cassette tapes, but they leave out so much of the story, it really needs to be redone. The movie version of Scarlett was horrible! They changed the story line completely. Such a disappointment.
As Captivating as the Title Character
I’d read this book many years ago but had forgotten much of it The author remained true to Scarlett’s nature while allowing her to grow as a woman. I loved that she was able to connect with her late mother and father and was able to see them as flawed while holding on to her cherished memories of them.
Even the secondary characters were well-developed so that they came alive.
I believe Margaret Mitchell’s estate selected the perfect author to carry the story of Scarlett and Rhett forward. Well done!
