What I love about Gone with the Wind as I have read it over the years is that it is a book that has grown with me. At 14, I wanted to be Scarlett. By time I reached my 40s, I did not. At 14, I thought Ashley Wilkes the biggest loser. By time I reached my 40s, I realized just how devestating it could be when your world blew up.
Melanie is a wonderful character. Finally, Rhett Butler is still Rhett Butler and as I have grown up, my appreciation of the character grew with me.
Margaret Mitchell wrote a classic. I've read it about 30 times..and just writing this post makes me want to pick it up and read it again.
My all-time favorite movie/book. (YES - I read the whole book and “Scarlett” when it came out.) Time to watch it again!
