I can see why this book blew up in 1936 bc the prose and internalization of Scarlett keep you on the hook to see what else could possibly go wrong. She is THAT bitch the whole book, and it is hilarious on numerous occasions to watch the suffering play out.Â
That said. Rhett. My poor boy.Â
Anyway if you take this on, take on a nonsympathetic historical account of the civil war too, and of slavery, to wash Mitchell's propaganda back out of your brain. Godspeed and be prepared for your skin to crawl with the racist bullshit.

As racist as I expected it to be? More so. Standard white savior stuff mixed with just about every stereotype you could possibly imagine.Â
Better than the weird nonsense in the thornbirds, my comparison for all trashy epics. No. I'd rather read that again 10000 times than read this ever again.Â
