	Rereadings: Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Forever Amber was published at a time of social upheaval in Britain, the beginnings of the welfare state and the erosion of an ethic of social and marital deference.
		Winsor's descriptions of Amber's clothes are marvels of fashion pornography that must have seemed even more illicit in the days of rationing and austerity; at a society raffle, Amber wears a gown of cloth-of-gold, an emerald velvet cloak lined in sable, with a spray of emeralds pinned to her sable muff.
		Amber St Clare, the illegitimate offspring of nobility who is raised as a village girl by adoptive parents, is a heroine of enormous intelligence and resourcefulness, as well as beauty and sexual force - what Winsor calls "a kind of warm luxuriance, something immediately suggestive of pleasurable fulfilment".

		Lebanese amber varies from pale yellow to dark red in color, and in some samples there is evidence of the amber flowing after insects have been trapped in it.
		Amber may be examined dry or immersed in liquids, but as some organic solvents - such as toluene or xylene - rapidly attack amber, a mixture of 70 percent alcohol and glycerine is preferable though this solution may also fracture the amber, it spreads through the cracks, giving greater visibility.
		Within some pieces of amber have been found leaves, and insects included; which seems to indicate, either that the amber was originally in a fluid state, or, that having been exposed to the sun, it was softened, and rendered susceptible of the leaves and insects.

	Charmed Life: Forever Amber \| 3/24/2004 \| Citypaper.com
		Later, Leslie Schwing, aka the Amber Lady, reassured me that her visit to Cambridge, Mass., hadn't been all that hifalutin: Instead of lecturing, she'd been invited to serve as the resident expert at a museum exhibit--and, at the same time, to market her trademark necklaces and earrings.
		Amber, Schwing explains, is fossilized resin from various species of trees that lived millions of years ago in several far-flung locations.
		European amber, which Schwing imports for her bead work, came from cypress-like trees that lived 40 million years ago on what is now the German coast of the Baltic Sea.

	Forever Amber (1947)
		Amber St. Clair aims to raise herself from a country girl to nobility, and succeeds, but loses her true love in the process.
		I had not seen Forever Amber since I saw it in a theater as a young girl and was completely captivated by the intrigue and the flash and dash of it all.
		Forever Amber doesn't even pretend to be a GREAT film, but it is a good one with good acting and some wonderful touches, especially George Sanders' terrific "Snidley Whiplash" aka James II.

	Roger Zelazny: Forever Amber
		I started to think about the way the road kept changing, and I said, 'Gee, that would be neat, to consider time as a superhighway with different turnoffs.' I went back and started writing Roadmarks that same afternoon.
		The original idea of the 'Amber' books had come to me in a strange part of a strange town, where the turnings kept taking me into unexpected places, and I started thinking about shiftings of reality then.
		Only then I was thinking in terms of space - different alignments of familiar features, until you've got something very strange - whereas the highway business, I started thinking of time as if I were shifting backward through it as I drove along.

		Ninety-nine percent of all pieces of amber are smaller than a finger nail and carry a silky sheen when polished.
		In a recent article in Smithsonian magazine, John F. Ross writes that the ancient Greeks "knew amber as electron" (the root of the modern word electricity) or "substance of the sun," perhaps because of its color or the fact that it collects a small negative charge when rubbed.
		In the 18th century, the famous Amber Room, a chamber whose walls were entirely covered in a jigsaw puzzle of 100,000 perfectly aligned, intricately carved pieces of amber, was built for Prussian King Frederick I.

	BookkooB : Forever Amber - Kathleen Winsor : Compare Book Prices
		Amber is a very unsympathetic heroine and the end is very abrupt (there is another doorstop of a sequel here for anyone who cares to write it, about what Amber finds when she disembarks in America).
		In Amber's world, it is vice which always gains the upper hand over virtue; the virtuous, such as Samuel Dangerfield, the poor Quakeress with no money to buy her way into comfort in Newgate, and Jenny Mortimer, are all diddled and left by the side of the road.
		The fact that Amber is not a particularly likeable character adds to the books interest but through her passionate love for Bruce Carlton for whom she would do(and indeed does)anything the reder develops an empathy with her and understands her often ruthless actions.

	Sadly, No! » Forever Amber (Site not responding. Last check: )
		And, as I said, there’s a certain fiendish appeal to driving the bulldozer over Amber now that she’s kicked off Men’s News Daily (!!) and eating powdered ranch dressing from the packet, working as a mechanical engineer somewhere in DC instead of shrieking in a sexually-charged way for an Ayn-Randian Gilead in the US.
		Amber used to relish getting attention from Sadly,No! and would even email Seb and ask why nobody was commenting on her latest column.
		So, although making fun of her is like ganging up on the village idiot and calling him stupid, it’s still a nice way to show her that people care about her.

	Movie Info for Forever Amber on MSN Movies
		Surviving the Plague and the Great London Fire with nary a hair out of place, Amber ends up in the arms of no less than King Charles II (wittily portrayed by George Sanders), but true love, as personified by Bruce Carlton, will always elude her.
		Taking no chances, 20th Century-Fox sent out Forever Amber with a spoken prologue, heard over the opening credits, which explained that the film in no way endorsed its heroine's libertine behavior, and that she would be amply punished for her sins before fadeout time (that prologue has thankfully been removed from current prints).
		A model of restraint by today's standards, Forever Amber was sufficiently titillating in 1947 to post an enormous profit, far in excess of its $4 million budget.
