Abandoned pregnant and penniless on the teeming streets of London,
16-year-old Amber St. Clare manages, by using her wits, beauty, and
courage, to climb to the highest position a woman could achieve in
Restoration England—that of favorite mistress of the Merry Monarch,
Charles II. From whores and highwaymen to courtiers and noblemen, from
events such as the Great Plague and the Fire of London to the intimate
passions of ordinary—and extraordinary—men and women, Amber
experiences it all. But throughout her trials and escapades, she
remains, in her heart, true to the one man she really loves, the one
man she can never have. Frequently compared to Gone with the Wind,
Forever Amber is the other great historical romance, outselling every
other American novel of the 1940s—despite being banned in Boston for
its sheer sexiness. A book to read and reread, this edition brings
back to print an unforgettable romance and a timeless masterpiece.
