Il libro è la saga delle migrazioni di una famiglia italiana in America, seguita per più generazioni. La loro storia viene fuori attraverso i racconti, le lettere, i diari, le testimonianze orali e abbraccia mezzo secolo, raccontandone le trasformazioni epocali: dalla dominazione borbonica alla seconda guerra mondiale, attraverso i destini individuali, l'autore fornisce un quadro epico di un mondo colto tra grandi eventi e vite private.
The timeless tale continues... The most popular and beloved American historical novel ever written, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now bestselling writer Alexandra Ripley brings us back to Tara and reintroduces us to the characters we remember so well: Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Aunt Pittypat, and, of course, Scarlett. As the classic story, first told over half a century ago, moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is reignited; amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless, consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking adventures, Scarlett satisfies our longing to reenter the world of Gone With the Wind, and like its predecessor, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.
