I believe this book came out my senior year, and we read it in school originally. I was glad I had read GWTW previously because my friends who had only seen the movie felt a bit lost when trying to read this book. I think Margaret Mitchell would be pleased with this sequal, and I think it ties up the story of Scarlett O'Hara and her family very nicely. This novel takes us off to Charleston, Savannah, and even Ireland to meet some of Scarlett's family living outside of the Atlanta area. And of course, this novel also answers the question of whether or not Scarlett and Rhett ever get back together.
This sequal is SO much better than the newly-released "Rhett Butler's People" that I had to give it 4 stars. I couldn't give it 5 because I just think nothing's as good as the original, but this is definitely worth reading if, like me, you're a fan of classic Hollywood and historical fiction.
