Forever Amber, Kathleen Winsor, 1945, Macmillan, 1st edition / 12th printing

Description: Forever Amber, Kathleen Winsor, 1945, Macmillan - 1st edition / 12th printing. (stated) - 5.5 x 8.25 inches approx.; 301 pages followed by book advertising; hdbk. - Wikipedia: Forever Amber was the best-selling US novel of the 1940s. It sold over 100,000 copies in its first week of release, and went on to sell over three million copies. Forever Amber was also responsible for popularizing "Amber" as a given name for girls in the 20th century. While many reviewers "praised the story for its relevance, comparing Amber's fortitude during the plague and fire to that of the women who held hearth and home together through the blitzes of World War II", others condemned it for its blatant sexual references. Fourteen US states banned the book as pornography. - Plot: "...Forever Amber tells the story of an orphaned Amber St. Clare, who makes her way up through the ranks of 17th-century English society by sleeping with or marrying successively richer and more important men while keeping her love for the one man she can never have. The subplot of the novel follows Charles II of England as he returns from exile and adjusts to ruling England." Condition: Very Good condition for this scarce vintage novel. Cover shows minor ...mostly just fading of spine gold lettering. No owner name inside. Hinges/binding are tight/strong. Only a little age-tanning to interior paper...maybe a bit more right inside both boards. Interior is all clean...no tears, stains, marks, creases. A nice specimen.
