Especially how she displays her excellent nursing and housekeeping skills during the Plague when she nurses Bruce back to health (and he in return). I truly had to put my personal feelings aside for Amber as her true character emerges: self-absorbed, greedy, and shallow. It is riveting as the reader follows Amber as a young 16 year old girl to her mid-twenties. I couldn't help likening the story between "Fatal Attraction" and "Dangerous Liasons". When I found out that this classic was once a 'banned' book for it's explicit sexual content well.I thought it must be REALLY good! Despite the fact that the book is 900+ pages it is an excellent period piece set in 1660's London.
