I am very glad to have finally read this classic novel. I really enjoyed the story and for someone that very limited knowledge about these times in the US, it did a fantastic job of portraying them. I liked to read about a character that is meant to be unlikeable, that does not confine to social norms. At the same time, I took a liking to Scarlet as she is a really strong female character in a time where women were usually meant to stay at home and take care of the children.
