Query: I really wanted to like this book.......

The idea is great - the story of the O'hara family slaves. There's a lot of material there with all of the slaves of Tara, and the basics we were given about several of them (Mammy, Pork, Prissy, etc) in Gone With The Wind.Unfortunately, this book doesn't measure up to these characters or to the story telling ability of Margaret Mitchell.While Ms. Mitchell was a little too into the "Magnolia Blossoms and happy darkies" school of writing (Her portrayal of the KKK as folk heroes was weird even by 1930's standards) you have to admire her ability to tell an interesting story with finely developed characters. Alice Randall is not similarly blessed. Like the odious "Scarlett" of a few years back, this story just doesn't compare.Maybe someday someone will be able to tell other side of the the fantasy of Gone With The Wind - the misery of the people that provided for the spoiled O'Hara girls. It's a story that deserves to be told.
