About this listen

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.

Loved it, read it years ago and really enjoyed it, I'm glad this time I could listen to it because I really couldn't put it down but glad I could do other things while I listened!!!

Great book!!

Loved this! The story is as old as time, in so much as it covers love, lust and obsession. The story is not saccharine sweet but on occasion did sound a little of the time it was written, by that I mean non PC. It’s a romp through an age of decadence and the author transports you back there with her phraseology and informative references. If you want to get engrossed in a book, this is the one. Narrator was in point the whole way through and didn’t disappoint.

Romping great story

I didn't like the narrator. it's not great Literature but it's fun and the historical period was well described.

An enjoyable yarn.

I didn’t expect an open ended end after 42 hours, it reminded me of Gone With The Wind, I did enjoy it however, but the treatment of Amber would have everyone yelling at the poorly used, spoilt madam.

Great historical detail

It’s a great rolling plot and good for sticking on while you’ve got boring tasks to do but very unP.C in todays world . A woman relying on her looks to gain status and wealth . Given the time it was written this is forgivable but it was interesting reading it from the perspective of a 50something woman rather than the first reading as a fifteen year old girl. I hated the narration. Too prissy and clipped

I read this as a young girl and wanted to revisit it
