Ebook About 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.Book Forever Amber (Rediscovered Classics) Review :
I was curious about the notoriously banned book from the '40s, so decided to see what all the hoopla was about. It's really a shame that "Forever Amber" has fallen off the radar, so to speak, in the ensuing decades, because I found it absolutely unputdownable.I'm not a fan of the "bodice ripper" genre, nor do I think this necessarily fits into that genre, which I usually find to be pretty light on actual historical detail. The historical detail and context in "Forever Amber" is incredibly impressive, and Kathleen Winsor really does recreate this world and the vibrant, licentious pageant that was the reign of Charles II. The descriptions are luscious, and if you're a fan of costume details, this is the equivalent of word crack.The character of Amber is unapologetically self-serving, tunnel-visioned and maybe not the brightest tool in the shed, but watching her preen and sleep her way through adventure after Restoration adventure is absolutely absorbing, whether you like her or not. We get the court of Charles II, the Plague, the Great Fire, the awakenings of the American Colonies ... everything that makes this era such a compelling and entertaining setting.Like some other reviewers, I probably could have done without the interwoven chapters dealing with Lady Castlemaine, the king's brother and sister, or this or that scheming duke or nobleman -- I felt myself wanting to hurry through these just to get back to the Amber-centric chapters, which are fortunately the overwhelming majority of the book, and more chances to sit there thinking, "Oh, no, she DIDN'T!"There's no graphic sex -- that could never have passed muster in the 1940s -- but much is implied. If you're put off by loose morals and loose sexual attitudes, this isn't the book for you. (And the court of Charles II probably isn't the place for you.)It's too bad there's only been one film version -- and that the one film version was made in an era of cinema in which a huge majority of the events and context of the book had to be left out for the movie to even pass the censors, resulting in a very watered-down adaptation that might more appropriately have been billed as "based on characters created by Kathleen Winsor" as opposed to an actual film treatment of "Forever Amber." I would love to see it remade in today's day and age, without the censorship that kept the book from being faithfully filmed in the 1940s. It would make a glorious cable series.All in all, I entirely enjoyed it, have read it more than once for pure entertainment's sake, and have recommended it to others. I read this book when I was a teenager and now I am 78. I feel I am enjoying this book far more at this time as I fully understand the history behind it. I am not quite finished the story as yet but shall be finished soon. I am enjoying every page. I would certainly recommend a reread for those who read it years ago and for those who have not read it at all, please do so as you don't know what you have missed. Enjoy.If you do read Forever Amber, you might enjoy also reading "Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H.
