A wonderful book....

"Scarlett" by Alexandra Ripley the sequel to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind"

I love this novel and I call any book that is this big and wonderful a novel. Anyone that is a "Gone with the Wind" fan (book or movie or both) may stick their nose in the air at a sequel done by someone other then Margaret Mitchell but I hope they take the time to stick that up turned nose between these pages. They will not be disappointed. In fact, I don't know if it is because of the wonderful writing, creative story, or just the fact that I can not get enough of Scarlett that I love this book sooooooo much.

My husband bought this book for me a long time ago because he knew how much I love "Gone with the Wind." I smiled and my nose started to turn up but because I love my husband so much and it was a very thoughtful gift I opened the pages and pretended to whole heartily read. The book cover flap that is. I learned that it took four years for Mrs. Ripley to write this novel and that she was hand picked by Margaret Mitchell's family to write the sequel. "Well, maybe I will actually open it up and give it a try but no more then one chapter. I have better things to do and many more books to read." I didn't pull my unturned up nose out till I was well into the sixth chapter! I was hooked.

You will too if you have ever wondered what happen to Rhett and Scarlett not to mention Ashley Wilkes, Mammy, Melanie, Suellen (Scarlett's sister), Aunt Pittypat, Tara, and Scarlett's two children. One novel could not hold the full story of such a love affair and certainly not long enough to tell the story of Scarlett. Any one that fell in love with Scarlett knew there had to be more to her story and they were right. What did she do next? Did she stay in Atlanta or was Atlanta too small to hold such a beautiful bell?

I don't want to tell you one thing specific that happens to Scarlett in this book. I don't want to spoil it for you. But I will tell you that Rhett and Scarlett are not done. Scarlett ventures farther then she ever has before. She also touches a lot of lives with her folly, business ventures, deep green eyes, money, generosity, boldness,and flip of her fan. If you love Scarlett then every thing you wanted is in this novel. Also I dare others to read it and not fall in love with our Scarlett.
