Amerikali yazar Kathleen Winsor’un dogum yildonumu (16 Ekim 1919)
“Amber St. Clare, henuz on altisinda hamileydi, bes parasizdiı ve Londra’nin tehlikeli sokaklarinda tek basinaydi. Ancak keskin zekasi, gozu karaligi ve dillere destan guzelligi sayesinde Restorasyon Donemi Ingilteresi’nde bir kadinin erisebilecegi en yuksek noktaya erisecek; fahiselerin, haydutlarin ve katillerin arasindan siyrilip saraya terfi eden bu genc kadin, hem Buyuk Veba’yi, hem Londra Yangini’ni yasayacakti. En yoksulundan en soylusuna sayisiz erkegin -ve kadinin- gonlunu fetheden Amber, daima tek bir adama bagliydi. En cok sevdigi ve asla elde edemeyecegi o adam, bir mucize kadar uzakti ona.”
“Abandoned pregnant and penniless on the teeming streets of London, 16-year-old Amber St. Clare manages, by using her wits, beauty, and courage, to climb to the highest position a woman could achieve in Restoration England-that of favorite mistress of the Merry Monarch, Charles II. From whores and highwaymen to courtiers and noblemen, from events such as the Great Plague and the Fire of London to the intimate passions of ordinary-and extraordinary-men and women, Amber experiences it all. But throughout her trials and escapades, she remains, in her heart, true to the one man she really loves, the one man she can never have.”
