My review for "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell

 My dear friends,  It is no secret that I am a very big fan of the novel "Gone with the Wind" written by Margaret Mitchell. I have recently ready it again and I was excited to share my thoughts with you. I don't even remeber where did my interest for this book came from.

Ningea des, iar zapada de un alb imaculat nu se topea saptamini intregi. Fulgii erau mari si aveau forme perfecte. De mult timp nu am mai vazut asa fulgi unici. Era minunat, mai ales cind soarele isi reflecta razele pe acei "munti" albi, iar la fiecare pas facut se auzea cum scîrtîie zapada.  Da! Am avut o copilarie frumoasa! Eram foarte norocosi, chiar daca nu realizam asta. Imi amintesc cu drag si despre sarbatorile de iarna, pe care nu le petreceam la munte sau la mare, dar
