About this listen
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.
©1936 Margaret Mitchell Estate (P)2020 Audio ConnoisseurCritic 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)

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.

An archaic, flawed legacy
I was confronted by the frank, brutal, racist language and mindset of this archaic saga. I am appalled when I recall that this was once considered a classic and that my mother's generation revered the book. The narration is skillful and professional, the story is chilling.

Loved the movie, shocked by the book.
I was t ready for this,
I know it’s got a reputation for being an authentic representation of how life was in the days of the civil war, but I struggled with the language, and harsh sexual and racial overtones of the book.
I must admit though, the end is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read/listened to.
The movie was so censored compared to this.

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.
