Editorial Reviews

The Kansas City Star

If you’re a Gone With the Wind fan, you won’t want to miss this nugget. Anne Edwards . . . has put together a highly readable and exciting portrait of the Atlanta reporter-turned-housewife who penned the best-known epic of the Old South and gave fiction one of its most memorable heroines. . . . Road to Tara is a fine literary biography, a real page-turner. . . . Road to Tara deals with the creation and publication of Gone With the Wind in marvelous, suspenseful detail.

Daily Mail (UK)

A compellingly readable biography.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

[Edwards’s] portrayal of Margaret Mitchell is handled in an objective yet sympathetic fashion. Like any professional biographer, she makes no attempt to hide or distort events in Peggy’s life.

Sunday Times

A remarkably full, lively portrait.

The Wall Street Journal

It is hard to imagine this biography being better done. The research and documentation are comprehensive. It is candid but sympathetic. Road to Tara is itself hard to put down. . . . A rich narrative, peopled with vivid characters full of drama.

Daily Mail

A compellingly readable biography.
