FOREWORD
WHEN Forever Amber was first published in 1944 it created a sensation and catapulted its author to instant fame.
*******************************************************************
The novel sold 100,000 copies in its first week, and Kathleen Winsor became a household name.
*******************************************************************
Considered bawdy and immoral, the book was banned in Boston, and the Hays office pronounced that it was too impure for the movies in its present state.
*******************************************************************
But in the end it sold over two million copies in hardcover, and it did become a movie starring Linda Darnell and Cornel Wilde.
*******************************************************************
I first read
*******************************************************************
Forever Amber when I was a teenager.
*******************************************************************
I remember that I could not put it down.
*******************************************************************
In fact, I read it so quickly that I immediately reread it to be certain I hadn’t missed anything important.
*******************************************************************
At the time, all of my girlfriends had their noses buried in it.
*******************************************************************
Like me, they found it compulsive and compelling reading.
*******************************************************************
I became a fan of the author’s and read all her other novels as they were published over the years, from Star Money to Calais.
*******************************************************************
But Forever Amber has remained a particular favorite.
