Finalist 2018 Digital Book World Awards - Best Audiobook

Margaret Mitchell was as complex and compelling as her legendary heroine, Scarlett O'Hara, and her story is as dramatic as anything out of her own imagination. Indeed, it is the basis for the legend she created. Gone with the Wind took the American public by storm and went on to become one of the most popular books and motion pictures of all time. The book was a phenomenon whose success has never been equaled, but it shattered Margaret Mitchell's private life. In Road to Tara, Anne Edwards tells the real story of Margaret Mitchell and the extraordinary novel that has become part of our heritage.

Great Story!

I am a huge fan of Gone With The Wind and listening to the story of the woman who wrote it was mind-boggling! I must say at times she came t across to me as an eccentric woman but she was also a woman who knew what she wanted and went for it with the guidance and love of her second husband. Am so glad that not everyone destroyed their correspondence with Margaret Mitchell. Anne Edwards did a wonderful job writing this biography of a great writer and Karen Commins did a wonderful job telling it.

Narration very good. Story moves along.. interesting GWTW tidbits. any fan of book or movie will enjoy.

Wonderful

Fascinating, insightful and important in our modern PC Culture. What a woman. Also a lesson about fame.

Borderline?

As a physician, I found it very easy to diagnose. Margaret Mitchell has a borderline personality disorder.

History

So much history and inside look into Peggy’s life. I enjoyed it as an avid reader of Gone with the Wind
