Acerca de esta escucha
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.

Historia
The Court of François I is full of lust, intrigue, and bawdy bon temps—a different world from the quiet country life Diane de Poitiers led with her elderly husband. Now a widow, the elegant Diane is called back to Court, where the King's obvious interest marks her as an enemy to the King's favorite, Anne d'Heilly. The Court is soon electrified by rumors of their confrontations. As Anne calls on her most venomous tricks to drive Diane away, Diane finds an ally in the one member of Court with no allegiance to the King's mistress: his teenage second son, Henri.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Historia
Set in the turbulent years following the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, George Eliot's fourth novel, Romola, moves the stage from the English countryside of the 19th century to an Italy four centuries before her time. It tells the tale of a young Florentine woman, Romola de' Bardi, and her coming of age through her troubled marriage to the suave and self-absorbed Greek Tito. Slowly Tito's true character begins to unfurl, and his lies and treachery push Romola toward a more spiritual path, where she transcends into a majestic, Madonna-like role.

To put it simply..
This book is an experience. I read the physical book years ago and I wanted to relive it in audio form and was not disappointed. This book brings you into Amber's world.. a character that I at times loathed, but still found myself rooting for. I love that she's complicated. You don't know if you're supposed to love or hate her, but she became a part of my world.
Absolutely worth a listen.

One of my most favorites!!
I have read this book no less than four times, and now enjoying the audio version. The production is outstanding! I am entranced with this book, and am thrilled that I now have it on Audible. This is an epic tale of a very insecure beauty of a young woman, who longs for the love of her life. It is tragic, funny, and just amazing! Hunker down, and enjoy this thrilling novel! 10/10 👍🏼👍🏼

Still stands the test of time..
Written in 1944..I can see why it has had such lasting appeal, and acclaim. The writing style is truly timeless. It‘s atmospheric (1655) and Amber is a very interesting character. She goes through a lot of character development but not necessarily to her betterment.
Amber is quite unlikeable and extremely avaricious but never quite satisfied by what she has. She‘s always seeking. Bruce is callous but honest about it. This is a rowdy/bawdy tale. A great window into the social mores common in Restoration England. The historical research is very good. A great cast of characters. The last few chapters and the ending were slightly disappointing.

Memories
I read this book as a teenager and the passion between Amber and Lord Carlton was so intense. As an older person it didn’t resonate the same to me but I enjoyed the narration and would recommend if you want a jaunt down memory lane.

This is NO Gone with the Wind
I can’t deny this book is remarkably detailed and vivid with its way of capturing the Stuart count of Charles II during the Restoration and meeting the individuals I hade studied as a lover of English history. But as the book went on, taking us through the Great Fire, the plague and threatened invasions, I started to grow less involved with the plight of Amber and Bruce. By the book’s conclusion, I just wanted to say “There. I got it done. Now let’s never talk about it again. Oh and 20th Century Fox did a movie version with Linda Darnell. It didn’t drag and the ending was more…fitting.”
Because more and more I was growing exhausted by the continual court plots, by Amber and Bruce’s on again off again. Of both of their grasping for personal power in their own little ways. Of their jealousies, their nastiness, of supposedly loving one’s wife by continuing to play around behind her back. I’m the end, as the finale played, I only thought about the mire compact finale of the movie, without all the damnable plots of this. I could only say “a pox on all their houses” and glad it was finally over.
Amber and Bruce right deserve one another. Neither of them are nice, and Bruce alleged he is so much better than Amber - God forbid he marry her - but he’s more than weak enough to hop in her bed while declaring his love for his wife. Amber did claw her way into the halls of Whitehall and the King’s chamber, but she becomes as scheming and duplicitous as those around her. These are NOT sympathetic people, no matter their fine clothes and ruches.
In the end, I only really liked two peripheral characters: the Quern, Catherine of Braganza and Princess “Minette” the King’s sister. We see how difficult it must have been to be Queen, be hated and despise, and unable to have children while your husband forces you to accept his mistress as one of your ladies, or his women bear healthy children. Minette is like many princesses - she us used as a pawn for politics, and lives in France, wife to the Sun King’s homosexual brother who hates her. It’s a rough life for both Catherine and Minette, but after a while, I wanted to return to their stories, not Amber, not Bruce.
I’m glad I finally “read” it. I’d seen the movie years ago and wondered how much was cut. But I can sort of see see why the movie doesn’t resonate like Gone with the Wind. The book might be as well researched, but in the end, I don’t care if I ever see Bruce, Amber or the court of Charles II again. A book should never be a chore to complete. It should be a delight. I’m sorry this wasn’t.
The narration however gets a chef’s kids. She was convincing in voicing so many characters male and female and I’m impressed.

Great story!
The story line moves in this book. Enjoyable. Maybe a sequel? Ends in a memorable way.
