A review by traeh
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

5.0

Margaret Mitchell is a genius. She wrote an 800+ book about a protagonist that is very unlikeable and yet I found myself wanting her to succeed against all odds. The Civil War Era South isn’t something I normally would have been interested in, nor is it anything I can personally relate to. However, I could not put this book down and spent many nights staying up well past my normal bedtime to read just a little more.

I struggle with how the slaves are portrayed, especially once they are freed after the end of the war. But it was eye opening to read about society from this perspective.

I will highly recommend this book to friends and likely read it again down the road.
