Gone With the Wind, again

NYT reports that a new sequel to Gone with the Wind is being published. This one is a retelling of the story from the point of view of Rhett and titled Rhett Butler's People, written by Donald McCaig. Apparently Mr. McCaig has written previous work dealing with the Civil War era that has been highly regarded, so we can hope for a better quality product than Scarlett.
