Publisher's Summary

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.

Definitely needed to increase the pace.

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the performer was very slow talking though, so had I not sped it up I doubt I could have gotten through it.

Forever Amber

This was a very long book but I was sorry that it was finished. This historic novel went into the lives of upper class people and showed their feelings about the poor, their relationships with other upper class people and the dreadful plots that they carried out.
