I’m not yet a tenth of the way through the book and I’m hanging on every word like Spanish moss clings to the oaks in Savannah. Her descriptions of the American South paints a lively picture of plantation life pre-Civil War. Miss Scarlett O’Hara is dynamic and headstrong during a time that women were expected to be subservient, quiet, and demure. (I see you miss anti-hero and proto-feminist) easy 5 stars so far

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”

Reading this book is like walking through an art museum of gorgeous prose. Line after line, page after page, of stunning imagery.
