I've seen this more than once compared to Gone With the Wind as the epitome of historical romance. I'm afraid I didn't find this compared well, and given the nature of the heroine, aspects of the plot, and that this was written after Gone With the Wind, I couldn't help but feel Forever Amber was hea...
I hated the main character. Hated, hated, hated her. The whole time I was reading I kept waiting for her to learn a valuable life lesson and grow the hell up but she never did. She NEVER did.

Some of the most outlandish behavior, while historically accurate, is so far from being socially accepta...
I picked up this book in large part because of all the comparisons to Gone With the Wind. The plot and character similarities are numerous, and although that classic is still the better book, Forever Amber is great fun and absolutely worth a read. Amber is an English country girl who in 1660 follows...
