BOOK: Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Moderate Yellowing Due to Sun Exposure. MOVIE TIE-IN: This novel was the basis for the 1947 feature film of the same name. SYNOPSIS: The sensational story of a wilful, beautiful, and frankly amorous woman of England's most scandalous age - an epic story that has become a true modern classic . . . Even before she had reached the full blossom of her womanhood, Amber St. Clare was acutely conscious that she possessed a very special quality. It was a kind of warm luxuriance - something immediately suggestive, to every man who encountered her, of pleasurable fulfillment. And it was this rare and intangible quality that Amber wielded as a weapon, using her power over men to soar above the mean circumstances of her childhood to become the toast of Restoration London and the mistress of a king! So magnificent in its sweep of events is Forever Amber, and so glamorous and forceful in characterization, that the novel was accepted by public and critics alike as a contemporary classic . . . despite the storms of controversy raging over its outspoken realism. Amber is one of the most fascinating heroines ever conceived in fiction; intelligent, courageous, lovely in face and form, her adventures take her into several varied worlds - all of which Kathleen Winsor paints with the vivid strokes that nothing short of endless research and total dedication could have made possible. Miss Winsor captures the lusty vigor of Restoration England in all its glamour and squalor. The ascension to the throne by Charles II in 1660, the flamboyant atmosphere of the court, the Great Plague and the Fire of London - all of the glorious and disreputable occasions are revealed with wit and enthusiasm, unfolding with the very spirit and tempo of their age. Many prominent figures of the day appear in Forever Amber's tumultuous pages - Minette, Frances Stewart, Buckingham, Clarendon, Barbara Palmer, Charles II himself - historical characters whose participation is intrinsic to the story itself, and who are as well and convincingly developed by Miss Winsor as are Amber and all the other fictional characters of the novel. Minnesota-born Kathleen Winsor has repeatedly demonstrated her devotion to realism in both background and plot of her popular novels. The historical research she undertook for Forever Amber involved thousands of hours of meticulous study and scholarly authentication; similarly, several years of research preceded her newest bestseller, Wanderers Eastward, Wanderers West.
