I chose this set mainly because it wasn't expensive, I am a lover of "Gone with the Wind" and I thought that these may be similar to it. While they weren't exact written at the same time as the civil war, in fact they were earlier, I was intriguied. I think I had a perception of women during that era as fragile and not able to do much for themselves. I was proven wrong. The women although treated by their men folk as I described, southern women were made of much sterner stuff.Each story was different in character, but there definitely were similarities in the women. Sometimes they frustrated me with their sheer stubborness when it came to their men, but perhaps it is because I am a true romantic at heart and wanted to have the happily ever after. These stories had me hook, line and sinker and I'm glad I made the impulse buy them.
