Readers who love historical romances (or historicals with romantic elements) should try author Anya Seton (mid-20th C. British). She must have done years of historical research for each novel because the details are so vivid, the reader can almost believe she's living in that period. Some of her best novels include Katherine (14th C. England), Green Darkness (16th C. England) and The Winthrop Woman (Puritan America).
Love is Eternal is also a great book on love. It's about Abe Lincoln and his wife, from his wife's perspective. Sorry, forgot the author's name and the name of Abe's wife.
Wow, I'd forgotten about some of these books. Now I want to go back and read them again. I haven't done that with The Far Pavilions in years. Too bad Sense and Sensibilities didn't make the cut.
The fact that Twilight is anywhere near Pride and Prejudice, and above Romeo and Juliet makes me want to cry and shame as humanity has fallen.

Near "Pride and Prejudice," above "Romeo and Juliet," "Much Ado About Nothing," "As You Like It," "Anna Karenina," AND above just about every 19th century BritLit classic, come to that ...

"Irving Stone, and you are correct: a great love story. Also John Adams as per McCullough's bio--the exchange of letters alone tells the story.
