She published three more historical fiction novels in the 1980s: On Leaving Charleston (1984), The Time Returns (1985), and New Orleans Legacy (1987). That year, she also married university professor John Graham, with whom she had two daughters. In 1981, she published her second novel, a work of historical fiction titled Charleston. Her first novel, Who's That Lady in the President's Bed? was published in 1972. In 1958, she married Leonard Ripley, who she divorced in 1963.
She describes her upbringing as that of a Southern belle, who, nonetheless, left the south to attend Vassar college, where she received her B.A. All I am saying Is googling the plot of the book would probably suffice, rather then spending however much on buying the book and suffering through 37 hours as I did.Alexandra Ripley (1934-2004) was born in Charleston, South Carolina, as Alexandra Braid. I am but weak mortal and had to find out "what happens next" so I sought the comfort of this novel, not written by the infamous author of Gone with the Wind, but by a stranger and "authorized by the Mitchell estate." Give it a go if you have the time, by all means. Mitchell intended the origional book to end as it did. While it does provide some closure, I feel that Ms. I feel like the main cry from other readers (just from reading reviews) is that "we need more Rhett" and I am here to tell you that these reviews are wholeheartedly correct, and this is not the novel you seek for him. I feel like at some point the author was just having a contest with herself to make the book as thick as its predecessor, as there is alot of mindless filler. I wouldn't really reccomend it, however, if you are a fan of Gone with the wind as a novel. It is more of a discovery journey for Scarletts character, which was fun, dont get me wrong. Mitchell released a sequel in her lifetime.
I know her history, the choices she has made in the past, but this is not how I would have envisioned her future has Ms. However, her depiction of Scarlett leaves much to the imagination. Mitchell's writing style, beautiful use of alliteration, similes, rapid scene changes and so on.
The author does a marvelous job trying to mimic Ms. This book was purely commissioned to put a bandaid on the gaping wound that was left on all of our hearts after reading Gone with the wind.
