Forever Amber

De: Kathleen Winsor

Narrado por: Elizabeth Jasicki

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 listen to again and again, this edition brings back to print an unforgettable romance and a timeless masterpiece.

To put it simply..

This book is an experience. I read the physical book years ago and I wanted to relive it in audio form and was not disappointed. This book brings you into Amber's world.. a character that I at times loathed, but still found myself rooting for. I love that she's complicated. You don't know if you're supposed to love or hate her, but she became a part of my world.
Absolutely worth a listen.

One of my most favorites!!

I have read this book no less than four times, and now enjoying the audio version. The production is outstanding! I am entranced with this book, and am thrilled that I now have it on Audible. This is an epic tale of a very insecure beauty of a young woman, who longs for the love of her life. It is tragic, funny, and just amazing! Hunker down, and enjoy this thrilling novel! 10/10 👍🏼👍🏼

Loved it!

Wow - not sure how I found this and what an amazing literary escape. Beautifully written. Great attention to detail with historical information interwoven with perfect balance.

Entertaining Read

This is not the usual type of book I read. I enjoyed it very much. The narrator was terrific. The story is engrossing in a light manner with interesting characters
. I highly recommend this book.

I wish there would have been a second book

Amber was definitely a woman who knew what she wanted and stopped at nothing to get it. But did she really get everything she wanted?

Great to get lost in for days at a time

I’m trying to pack up my house to move, and this story had me engaged for so long. that I did not have to suffer too much about thinking about the fact that I have to leave my home. I was blown away by the fact that it was written in 1944! And I only came to find that out after I finished reading the book. I wondered why the sex scenes were so mellow but I really enjoyed that fact, because you could always let your imagination run, like in the good old days!

Amazing!!!

Epic historical story of a strong and ambitious woman! One of my favorite books easily!!!
