SynopsisAbandoned 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.

Amber Rules
This book absolutely kills me, I love historical fiction and this one is the best ever. First read it in junior high school in the fifties, when we had to secretly pass it around. It is still fabulous. And the copy I received from this company was PERFECT, no marks on it at all, I was VERY happy about that!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
