What this book is about
Alexandra Ripley's authorized sequel to Margaret Mitchell's classic follows Scarlett O'Hara as she chases Rhett Butler from Atlanta to Savannah and ultimately to Ireland, where she discovers her roots and finds a new identity. The novel is long and sweeping in the tradition of the original, though generally considered inferior to Mitchell's work. Adult romantic content is present throughout. Ripley handles the racial elements of the Reconstruction-era South in ways that some readers find more progressive than the original; others remain critical of the source material's legacy.
