Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind can be considered one of the most widely read books of the 20th century. At different times, several writers undertook to continue it. The most popular was Alexandra Ripley’s novel “Scarlett.” Winner of the first prize in the network competition “People’s Writer 2013,” Tatyana Osiptsova again brought everyone’s favorite characters to the stage, continuing the epic with the novel “Rhett Butler. Deleted years.” The cloudless happiness of Scarlett and Rhett, who had found each other again, was short-lived. Fate sends them new tests, testing the strength of love.
