The Wind Done Gone

The Wind Done Gone is a 2001 novel by American writer Alice Randall, her debut, marketed on publication as an unauthorized parody of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. It retells the same historical period from the perspective of Cynara, an enslaved woman of mixed race on the plantation, rather than from the viewpoint of the wealthy planter's daughter at the center of Mitchell's novel. The book's publication led to a lawsuit from Mitchell's estate over its use of characters and plot from Gone with the Wind, a case that was settled in 2002 with a donation to Morehouse College.
