Summary: A Must Read
Comment: When I finished Forever Amber, I rushed to buy the sequel the moment I reached the last page. I was dismayed to find a sequel was never written. I have never read historical novels before, and almost did not buy Forever Amber assuming I would not care for it. I read it in 3 days - I could NOT put it down. If you like Scarlet O'Hara, you will find traces of her in Amber. She is strong, she can be ruthless, as well as foolish. I found myself cringing at times, maybe because I could see myself doing the same things in pursuit of true love, not to mention true obsession. Amber is unforgetable, and next winter I will pick this book up once again to visit her again.

Summary: MY LETTER FROM KATHLEEN WINSOR
Comment: I read FOREVER AMBER back in April of 1967. I was 26 years old. I never read a book that affected me the way this book did! When I finished reading it, I actually felt as if something was missing from my life, because she made the characters come alive and I missed reading about them.
I felt I had to write to Kathleen Winsor and ask her if she was ever intending to write a sequel. In a letter dated May 27,1967 she wrote as follows:
Dear Mrs. Bolton, I was pleased to receive your nice letter about FOREVER AMBER. No, I have not considered writing a sequel. That is a very long book, after all, and I have no more to say on the subject.
She goes on to answer a question I had asked her about Amber and Bruce. I cannot write what she wrote. I would ruin the story for those who have not read the book.
For those of you who have wondered if a sequel had ever been written, I have now answered that question for you.
I still have my copy of the book with the letter inside. And now I think I will pick that book up and get back in that beautiful story again!

Summary: Wildly Addictive
Comment: A friend of mine recommended "Forever Amber" to me. I can honestly say that otherwise, I would not have read it. Thank God she did tell me about how amazing it was...this is NOT a story to be missed! I could not believe that this was written back in 1944...it felt so fresh and not at all old fashioned.
I thought that the authors writing style was brilliant. The book is mainly about the life of a girl called Amber St. Clare. The thing about Amber is that she is not easy to like..in fact..I was appalled by her often, but at the same time I found myself admiring her determination, rooting for her, and pitying her as well. The book goes on for 972 pages and at the end of it all I actually wanted MORE. The descriptions were so vivid that I felt like I could see, smell, TASTE London as it was in the 1660s. I am so happy to have experienced this tale. I plan to look for more of Kathleen Winsors work and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any lover of Historical Fiction.
