Reviews for Gone with the Wind
Breathtaking and unforgettable
This is one of those books that you shove in peoples faces and say "You've got to read this!!"
The narrative will have you laughing at one point and then on the verge of tears at the next. The settings will leave you fearful for the characters lives or jealous of their overly lavished lifestyle. And the characters, well, they will stay with you for a life time. I don't think that this is a tale of romance, while there are elements of this theme twisted through the story, I'd argue that it is a tale of survival. About a single woman with such strong characteristics that will make you hate her but love her at the same time, who is willing to go against social norms to flourish and, ultimately, survive - a theme that when applied to modern society is quite inspiring.
With 1448 pages it is an intimidating read but once you get pulled into the story, the end pages will thin quickly enough. A favourite of mine that I will be reading several times throughout my life. I cannot recommend this highly enough. by Tara M
