Never thought about it, but I can name only a few who I consider "fictional couples." Jay Gatsby and and Daisy Buchanan, mainly because of Fitzgerald's ability to make them more than merely a couple but symbols of American hope, greed, despair, and romantic love in the classical sense. Then maybe Catherine Barkley and Frederic Henry, maybe for the same reasons, but less so.

Hi! I read your review regarding To Sleep in a Sea of Stars... I couldn't finish the book, left it at around page 120, haha... honestly I couldn't! Anyway, I wanted to recommend a hard sci-fi story: finish author Hannu Rajaniemi and his Jean le Flambeur trilogy, starting with "The quantum thief", all three books are approximately 900 pages! In m opinion - an incredibly well written story!! Give it a try ;)?
