Synopsis

A book to read and reread, this reissue brings back to print an unforgettable romance and a timeless masterpiece.

Abandoned pregnant and penniless on the teeming streets of London, sixteen-year-old Amber St. Clare uses her wits, beauty and courage to climb to the highest position a woman could achieve in Restoration England - that of favourite mistress of the Merry Monarch himself, Charles II.

From whores and highwaymen to courtiers and noblemen, from 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 ...

From the Publisher:

DAILY EXPRESS:
"FOREVER AMBER, a naughty great doorstep of a book published in 1944, did for Restoration England what GONE WITH THE WIND had done for the Old South...The passage of time has meant that a book considered raunchy and risque on publication is now viewed as a classic."
