After an unsuccessful hunt for a David Mitchell book I haven’t read yet, I happened on this classic: Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. I’ve never felt that it was my kind of book but if I was ever going to give it a go, it was now. I certainly have the time, right?
Despite my initial hesitation, it took me all of 15 pages to be whisked away into the hoop skirt wearing, plantation owning, Rhett Butler fawning world of civil war era Georgia. In short, I see why this book is such a phenomenon. It sucks you in and doesn’t let you go for 1011 pages.
If you haven’t read it yet, set your Twilight series aside and pick up the original page-turning love saga. You won’t regret it.
