Publisher's Summary
When Gone with the Wind appeared in 1936, it became on overnight sensation. Nothing like it in American literature had ever been seen. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize and become one of the most celebrated films of all time. It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and been translated into 27 languages.
Gone with the Wind is both an historical novel and an examination of the bewildering changes that swept Georgia in the 1860s. The novel begins just before the Civil War opens and ends in 1871. During those intervening years Mitchell’s novel illustrates the struggles of the Georgians who lived through the Civil War and Reconstruction eras.
Here are the most famous characters in American literature: handsome, controversial Rhett Butler; spoiled, flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara; aristocratic gentleman Ashley Wilkes; and saintly Melanie Hamilton. As the lives of these and other equally fascinating characters play out against the chaotic background of war and Reconstruction, Gone with the Wind scales heights of human drama that have rarely been reached.
Critic Reviews
“The narrative is excruciatingly vivid. For days after reading Gone with the Wind, the reader lives the experiences of the characters Margaret Mitchell has given the world.” (London Times)
“No reader can come away without a sense of the tragedy that overcame the planting families in 1865 and without a better understanding of the background of present-day Southern life.” (The New York Times)

Great story
Lovely to have read the story after all these years. I really enjoyed it, in spite of some difficult sections.
The ending was sad in one way, but I was so tired of Scarlett and her selfishness, that it was justice.

Soo very long
Soo very long and the in-depth of war history lost me a bit. The narrator was droll very tiresome to listen to. He was terrible at the female characters. There need to be a female voice.

Wonderfully rich storytelling…
So many layers to this novel, it took me a little while to get used to the narrator, however after a while I couldn’t imagine the tale being narrated by anyone else.

All time favourite
Except the voices for female characters, which switched me off, but I picked it up again and made to the last. Love it

Narrator was outstanding! The deep velvet voice of Rhett.. you felt it all through this long saga!
The narrators voice captured the velvet deep voice of Rhett Butler, the voice of Ashley, Melanie, Scarlett, Mammie, the Irish, Yankees , every character .. led us through the emotions of this long saga! At the end I cried in disbelief and regret along with Scarlett! I didn’t want the story to end! It’s the second time I’ve listened to this story, and I will listen to it again. Outstanding! Unforgettable!
I can’t fault this narrator, the production, including the musical interludes. Such a bittersweet love story.
I’d rate it the best audible book I’ve ever listened to.
