Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War, Margaret Mitchell's magnificent historical epic is an unforgettable tale of love and loss, of a nation mortally divided and a people forever changed. Above all, it is the story of beautiful, ruthless Scarlett O'Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler.
'Mitchell's classic Civil War epic of passion and romance centring on the ultimate spoilt Southern Belle as she flits from Ashley Wilkes to Rhett Butler.' (Kirkus UK)
