Road to Tara: The Life of Margaret Mitchell

Summary: Margaret Mitcell's life surprised me
Review: I had an image of Margaret Mitcell as a very cool person. But reading this book, I was greatly surprised to find that she was an alcoholic,a flirt(as stated explicitly in the book) and had two marriages and seemed to be very non-traditional. She reformed herself after becoming famous with GWTW, but she couldn't cope up with the recognition and the crowd always surrounding her. I admire her second husband for inspiring her to write a novel which she had no idea of publishing since she always felt she was only an amateur because of not having completed her study in the university. Yes, she is a complex character and it seems that she was always in two minds. Gone With The Wind is the novel which I have liked the most.

Summary: Margaret deserves better!!
Review: This book reveals a great deal of information that relates Margaret Mitchell, the woman, to "Gone With the Wind", the book. Sadly, this could have been a wonderful book but the author's lack of sympathy with the subject is a noticable. The author's disrespect for a courageous and talented woman only made me think less of the author and more of Peggy Marsh. Perhaps if there had been a better editor......
