Product Review
The story is told alongside the familiar tale of Scarlett and Tara, but from the perspective of Rhett Butler and those who knew him well. We get to know Rhett as a boy and learn about his family, his struggles with his father, and the challenges that shaped his dark, mysterious character.
Many questions are answered, from the reasoning behind Rhett's renegade reputation to the truth about the misunderstood Belle Watling. The reader gets a closer look at the heartache he experienced at the hands of his beloved Scarlett, from the barbecue at Twelve Oaks to the night he walked out of her life. And to the delight of Gone with the Wind fans, McCaig takes the story a bit further to give readers the ending we've always imagined.
Donald McCraig did a beautiful job of giving Rhett a background and showing why and how he became the man he was portrayed as being in GWTW, and of telling this historical novel from the Rhett Butler perspective. Youll love the way he portrayed his various relationships with: his father, his friends, his love, and his sister, as well as painting a clear picture of the weak, pale, pallid, Ashley.
