Forever Amber

More about the book

A magical combination of an unforgettable heroine, a breath-taking plot and the thrilling rendition of one of the most glamorous and tempestuous periods in history--Restoration England. The author spent thousands of hours in meticulous research and read 356 books in order to create an authentic background for the action of this story. Abandoned on the teeming streets of London with no money, and soon to have a child, sixteen-year-old Amber St. Clare managed, by her wits, beauty and courage, to climb to the highest position possible for a woman then--that of favorite mistress of Charles II. And in Miss Winsor's expert hands, the incredible story of Amber's passionate career, all the strata of Restoration society, the Great Plague and the Fire of London come brilliantly alive again.
