Gone with the Wind

Deeply conflicted about this book.

I expected overt racism, but I did not expect it to become so central to the story. And I certainly did not expect the narrator to try to get me to cheer for the KKK.

Also, for the first two thirds of the book, Scarlett is really basically a sociopath.

But the arc of Scarlett's development and relationship with Rhett are extremely compelling.

So, I get why some people adore this book while others hate it.
