Gone with the Wind - Margaret Mitchell

n'My dear, I don't give a damn.' nMargaret 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. n nThe 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. n nWINNER OF NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND PULITZER PRIZE n n'For sheer readability I can think of nothing it must give way before' The New Yorker n n'What makes some people come through catastrophes and others, apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under?'
