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.

I’ve read this book several times on paperback and I was excited to get it in audiobook. It did not disappoint. Narration was great and the story simply wonderful.

Lovely book

I read the print edition over 30 years ago...enjoyed it then and enjoyed it now. It is a great pity that the author was unable to write the sequel.

Hard to put down

I really did try, made it to chapter 31 but it was still going nowhere. One of the most boring books I have bought on Audible. Good narration but the story line could have been so much more.

Dissapointed

Entertaining enough and well researched! However Amber was vain, selfish, obsessive, greedy and annoyingly whining into the bargain. Bruce never promised her anything. Would never listen to it again.

The annoying main character!
