One of the blogs I love, Historical Fiction Connection, is hosting a read along of Forever Amber. This Classic Novel was written in 1944 and was criticized for it's, ahem, love scenes. However, it went on to sell over three million copies.
I've had this book on my TBR shelf for ages. At 972 pages, its not a short read.
The read along starts on March 18th, and will last four weeks.
This is a huge book and I hope that I am up for the challenge.

I read Forever Amber 20 years ago for the...love scenes!! Needless to say they're quite tame, but I was in London at the time and reading it on the tube and got many a disapproving stare from older folk! Good luck with the histocial fiction challenge I'm doing it too :-)
