Rhett Butler's People

Shifting the viewpoint from Scarlett to Rhett offers a different lens on the Civil War era. I wonder what led to this storytelling choice and how it changes the story’s impact.

The novel highlights the rigid class distinctions of the South — did that make anyone else think differently about the characters' motivations and conflicts?

The details feel authentic but also serve the narrative. I’m curious about the research process and how much was adapted for dramatic effect.
