'My dear, I don't give a damn.' Margaret Mitchell's page-turning, sweeping
American epic has been a classic for over eighty years. Beloved and thought
by many to be the greatest of the American novels, Gone with the Wind is a
story of love, hope and loss set against the tense historical background of
the American Civil War. The lovers at the novel's centre - the selfish,
privileged Scarlett O'Hara and rakish Rhett Butler - are magnetic: pulling
readers into the tangled narrative of a struggle to survive that cannot be
forgotten. WINNER OF NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND PULITZER PRIZE 'For sheer
readability I can think of nothing it must give way before' - The New
Yorker 'What makes some people come through catastrophes and others,
apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under?' Margaret Mitchell
