Review title: what THE WIND DONE GONE could have done
Product review: Intrigued by the clever title of THE WIND DONE GONE, I read it hoping for a moving depiction of the other side of slavery. I was disappointed. Then I read CANE RIVER and discovered that book delivered what TWDG had only promised. CR showed me strong women, caught in the horrors of slavery, who managed their lives and, as Faulkner would have admired, endured. Beyond that, they even flourished. Speaking as a middle aged white woman, I found much more to admire in the historically based characters of CR than the literally based characters of TWDG. If you're going to read only one, make it CAIN RIVER.
