The greatest fictional love affair is reignited as the passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking adventures, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.

Review:

I don't know why I thought this book was so good when I was a teenager, but now I have started questioning the choices in my taste of books.

I think I was excited that I would finally get a conclusion on Scarlett and Rhett's relationship, but now I see it as nothing more than a glorified piece of fanfiction.

I am still trying to understand why Margaret Mitchell's estate allowed this book, especially when she had said that there would never be a sequel. for the book.

I did try to reread this novel, but I found this sequel unnecessarily.
