Romantic Novels

[happyducky]

I'm in the mood for a good romantic novel. Anybody got any suggestions? I want it to be a feel good comedy then tragedy, I like a happy ending! Modern or classic, any ideas?

[Hellion]

'I Capture the Castle' by Dodie Smith

[RCP]

Anything by Hardy if you want to get depressed.

[Toglet]

"Kirkland Revels" by Victoria Holt is worth a read.

[woofgang]

anything at all by georgette heyer, brat farrar by josephine tey, gaudy night, busmans holiday, dorothy sayers. sorry about the lack of caps, i am typing one handed while eating a calippo

Wendy Holden was quite good, Jane Green also isn't bad but I found Jemima J a little difficult to digest at times

[LeMarchand]

I've heard "Come Together" is quite good ;-). Unfortunately, I read little out-and-out romance, and those books with romantic themes that I do read are usually of the bittersweet variety.

Try a book called "these are my words". a brilliant romantic story. Also, "A Town like Alice"....not a comedy but again you can't beat it for romance.

That's so funny you should say that LeMarchand because I've just finished reading Come Together and it is excellent. I think I've got a taste for romantic comedies now, that's why I want more!

i know what you mean, sometimes you just got to have a pastel-covered book (me and my sister labelled them ages before 'chick-lit'... although admittedly not so catchily). i really liked Rescuing Rose by somebody Woolf (sorry cant remember) type it into amazon though. she is a really good writer, i've enjoyed everything she's done. steer clear of jenny colgan (bearable though) and faith bleasdale (awful, couldn't finish it)
