Features: Classic excerpt, complete version, first-class translation. Sixty years ago, Margaret Mitchell ended Gone with the Wind with the departure of Rhett Butler from Scarlett. However, leaving a foreshadowing for their future entanglement was Scarlett's inner monologue: "Tomorrow I'll think of a way to win him back. After all, tomorrow is another day." Half a century later, Southern American female writer Alexandra Ripley was chosen from hundreds of candidates to continue the story of Gone with the Wind. She revised the manuscript several times and finally wrote the story of "tomorrow": Gone with the Wind Sequel Scarlett. In the book, the author vividly portrays Scarlett's emotional entanglements with Butler, Ashley, and several other men, revealing her complex feelings for Butler, her hometown of Ireland, and her Irish family—both love and hate intertwined—with heart-stirring and emotionally moving descriptions.
