Donald McCaig - Rhett Butler's People —
RHETT BUTLERS PEOPLE
by Donald McCaig
This story is based on Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, (my all time favorite book, by the way.) It tells Rhett Butler's side of the story; starting with his childhood, and going a few years beyond where GWTW ended.
There are other GWTW characters in the story, Scarlett O'Hara of course, and also including Ashley and Melanie Wilkes, and Belle Watling. We are also introduced to new characters, which include Rhett's sister Rosemary, Belle's son Tazewill, and Rhett's childhood friend and former slave Tunis.
Though I won't rank this book as one of my all time favorites, it was a very good read. It was interesting to see Rhett's perspective of many of the events in Gone With The Wind, though this book is not merely just a retelling of Gone With the Wind. While Ms. Mitchell's story was a more romantacized version of the war, Mr. McCaig's story of the war is darker.
I think this book will mainly be of interest to fans of GWTW, but it is also a strong enough story to stand on its own, for those who haven't read Margaret Mitchell's book.
