Any ideas about unconventional romantic couples in prose or drama? (Not Shakespeare!) DGD and I are trying too hard, I think. For tomorrow!! A Level English.

I know one (or more) of you will have a brilliant idea. grin

I have read all the books you mention, Micelf, with the exception of Sacred Hearts. Do you recommend it - I can get most books from Amazon.

Oh absolutely! It's beautifully written, the historical research is precise, and it's a total page turner. And the ending is something else.

Tristan and Isolde is one of my favourites. Very romantic but also very sad

I am very taken with that book too, MiceElf and I shall look for it. So thanks for that too!

I'll let you know what P finally chose to talk about.

BTW, there is a photo of her in my profile - just look for the hair!

And what hair! So luxuriant and glossy! Some people have all the luck!

I've put your recommendation on my wish list, Mice. It sounds right up my street.

On second thoughts, it's available second hand on Amazon for only a penny more than the cost of postage. Much cheaper than the Kindle price. So that will soon join the pile of books waiting under my bed - and may be a candidate for our book group.

Abelard and Heloise? I've always had a soft spot for Daphnis and Chloe although I don't suppose a modern teenager would believe a couple could be so innocent.
