Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind is praised for its rich, immersive portrayal of the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction. The strong, complex character of Scarlett O'Hara captivates readers. However, its romanticized depiction of the Confederacy and racial stereotypes can be problematic. Overall, the novel remains a compelling but controversial epic.
