Margaret Mitchell heard stories about lives broken by the Civil War from her closest people – her parents. But she began writing her only novel, which brought her phenomenal success and the Pulitzer Prize, out of boredom, when she injured her leg and was forced to stay at home. And she gave it up twice, thinking that her work was worthless.
Her heroine, young Scarlett O'Hara, is smart, beautiful and willful. The daughter of a wealthy landowner, she is used to getting everything she wants. And so she is determined to ruin the engagement of Ashley Wilkes, the neighbor's son, with whom she has long been in love. But very soon the lives of those she loves - and her own - will change irrevocably: war is coming to the door.
The first volume included parts one through three.
