I often get "anonymous" posts and then answer accordingly but I never know whether the poster receives it.<br /><br />As to the Rhett Butler book, I've heard of it but same as "Scarlett", it was written by another person so I'll probably pass. But I will read your post, so thank you very much for the link.<br /><br />Happy Sunday.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-68243195105217366972022-06-18T11:13:22.171+02:002022-06-18T11:13:22.171+02:00Sorry Marianne, don’t know WHO I poster as anonymo...Sorry Marianne, don’t know WHO I poster as anonymous all of à sudden.

It started out all right, but then somehow went totally over board. However, I have read another wonderful book, which is not a sequel but takes place at the same time as the original one. The focus is on Rhett Butler and his background. It is called 'Rhett Butler's People' by Donald McCaig and I really liked it.

I will never read it, though, because it wasn't written by Margaret Mitchell and I haven't heard many good things about it. Come to think about it, I haven't heard anything good about it.<br /><br />I had a bit of a problem with this topic but I always try to find something that goes with it before twisting it too much.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting.

I don't think too much of the epilogue. If there is one, it is good, if not, then, as you say, you have to make up your own idea of how it will be.<br />To end a story with and open ending has it charms, but can be very frustrating. I guess Gone With the Wind is one of them.

I mean, Jane Austen, for instance, passed away far too early and I am sure she would have written many other books in that genre.
