    <![CDATA[Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and &quot;Frankly ... I don't give a damn,&quot; <em>Gone with the Wind</em> was initially a compelling and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time. <p><p>Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as <em>Gone With the Wind</em> does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives. <p><p>In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.<p><p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Yes, Georgia, there is a Santa Claus. As a Xmas gift, I decided to read GWTW again since I now have a 1943 copy. Actually enjoying it and marveling at Mitchell's depth of characterization, so even if one makes a scathing review, there's still hope of reconsideration at least for me. ]]></body>
