I would recommend this audio book to all Omg I loved this book so much I needed to hear it read out loud. Where does Rhett rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This novel is a captivating read in its own right, but I wonder if it will satisfy the many fans of the original, Gone With the Wind.New standalone novel from New York Times best-selling Author J.

Like Max DeWinter and Mr Darcy we require our romantic heroes to be mysterious, unlike anyone we have ever met or are ever likely to meet. In penetrating the mystery that was Mitchell’s enigmatic hero, McCaig has dispelled much of the magic that held us in thrall to Rhett Butler. What he does supremely well is to capture the atmosphere of the Civil War and the social mores of the time, gritty and honest he is never afraid to use the ‘n’ word. For me McCaig fails to capture Mitchell’s fiery heroine. The story is peopled by the many characters who play a part in Rhett’s life, and all are convincing and interesting in their own right except for Scarlett. From the outset, Rhett is a rebel, and there is no love lost between him and his father, who constantly tries to force the young Rhett to conform to his ideals. The scene is brilliantly set as is the introduction to Rhett’s background: his father’s rice plantation and Rhett’s sympathy towards the Negro slaves. The reader first meets Rhett Butler on his way to a duel with Shad Watling. Even though he was requested by the trustees of Mitchell’s estate to write it, it is a brave man indeed who aspires to enlarge upon what has been described as the greatest love story ever told. Donald McCaig’s prequel/sequel to Margaret Mitchell’s novel, Gone With the Wind covers the years from 1843 until 1874.
