Under the Greenwood Tree: This 1872 novel by Thomas Hardy, Under the Greenwood Tree, is possibly one among the best romantic novels ever written in the English language – a touch of his magic and the different class of writing by Hardy makes this novel a featured one on our list. The love story of Dick Dewy and Fancy Day is just marvellous and moving one. You will be emotional at times and also sentimental with sympathy for the characters – one or the other at times.

Pride and Prejudice: Featured on our lists (various) so many times, this 1813 novel by Jane Austen has a magic about it and it never gets out of the ‘fashion’ in the terms of reading habits. The aura of Darcy and the wit of Elizabeth never fade away with time and more than two hundred old novel is still very much contemporary because lovers are still out there (and so are the fair ladies) who want to ensure about their love interest first. The wit and humour and irony are packed in this novel and it will make your day special!

Atonement: This 2001 Man Booker Shortlisted novel by Ian McEwan is a masterclass… it captures the emotions not only of the lovers but also of a girl who is on the verge of adulthood and her reaction towards the events she witnesses around herself. Robbie and Cecilia are the lovers and Briony is the girl who misinterprets the love of being something forceful and uncalled for… and then, you will be left with tears as you read the novel and understand what happens next. The drama is created around the theme of second world war and it culminates in present-day England (1999). A must read romance novel with the share of emotional overflow…
