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 ...

作者简介

凯瑟琳·温莎出生于1919年。在阅读了第一任丈夫的论文后，她对查尔斯二世和他不道德的宫廷产生了浓厚的兴趣。经过5年的研究，她写下了《琥珀》。这本书轰动一时，精装本销量超过200万册，在波士顿被禁。它的销量几乎超过了过去十年里的其他任何一本书，并成为了16个国家的畅销书。

Kathleen Winsor was born in 1919. She became fascinated with Charles II and his immoral court after reading her first husband's thesis on the subject. Five years and much research later, she wrote FOREVER AMBER. It was a sensation, selling over 2 million copies in hardback, and was banned in Boston. It outsold almost every other book of the decade and became a bestseller in 16 countries.
