Title: Disappointing
Product review: The book is romance novel trash. I suppose the only benefit was that the Mitchell Trusts got to extend their copyright on GWTW, which would have expired in 2011 if they had not consented to the writing of the sequel. Scarlett lacks the interplay of history and devotion to the traditions of the Old South that is evident thoroughout Margaret Mitchell's work.Ripley obviously spent a lot of time engaged in historical research. For example, she knew that South Carolina law did not permit divorce (a circumstance that was not changed until after World War II) and also knew that military courts sometimes granted divorces anyway during the Reconstruction Period.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
