Although on the surface this book is a very good biography of Margaret Mitchell, based upon letters she and her husband wrote throughout their adult lives, it's really a love story. Ms. Mitchell was an insecure woman in many ways, with some unfortunate psychological problems. What's fascinating is how these problems did not prevent her from writing her remarkable book, nor from achieving a lasting, deep love with her husband -- a love only made stronger by her staggering, overnight transition from poverty to fame. By the end of the book, you feel as if you know Mitchell and her husband personally -- and if you enjoy a love like the one they had, you are fortunate indeed.
