Miljoenen lezers en kijkers verloren hun hart aan Scarlett O'Hara en Rhett Butler. Veel lezers vroegen zich af wat er van de twee geliefden was geworden. In 1991 schreef Alexandra Ripley een vervolg, Scarlett. En nu, ruim zeventig jaar na Gone with the Wind, verschijnt het tweede vervolg: Rhett – de weg naar Scarlett. In een roman die ruim dertig jaar omspant, van 1843 tot 1874, lezen we over Rhetts jeugd op een rijstplantage, zijn affaire met hoerenmadam Belle, zijn tijd als politiek activist in zuidelijk Amerika en, natuurlijk, hoe hij zijn grote liefde Scarlett vond.
