“one of my top ten all time. I re-read this every 5 or 10 years and each time I see it from a new perspective. I have my mother's copy from 1940; it's wonderfully tattered and fragile.”

“The sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel.”

“Absolutely marvelous. I cannot believe it took me so many years to finally get around to reading this, but already I cannot wait to read it again. I savoured this book, often stopping for several days to move on to other things, so as not to get tired of it. The florid style that would weigh down most books only serves to add richness to this one. So many passages stood out that next time, I shall read it with a pen in hand.”
