Features: Seventy years ago, Margaret Mitchell ended Gone with the Wind with Scarlett O'Hara leaving Rhett Butler. However, with a soliloquy from Scarlett, the story left a hint for their future entanglement: "I'll think of a way to get him back tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day." Half a century later, American Southern writer Alexandra Ripley was selected from hundreds of candidates to continue the story of Gone with the Wind. After multiple revisions, she finally wrote the story of "tomorrow": Scarlett, the sequel to Gone with the Wind. The author vividly portrays Scarlett's emotional entanglements with Rhett Butler, Ashley Wilkes, and several other men, revealing her complex feelings for Butler, her homeland of Ireland, and her Irish family—both love and hatred. The book is filled with gripping and heart-wrenching descriptions.
