Diana Gabaldon, the Jamie Fraser series.
The first one, actually, The Cross Stitch. The writing is not wonderful, but the storyline is really compelling.

Classic romance novel - Wuthering Heights.

I'm not into the Romance genre, so I really don't know what to suggest!

Captain Corelli's Mandolin and The Other Boleyn Girl are two really good ones that spring to mind.

This is a period drama set in 19th century industrial England. You MUST read this and/or watch the series they made of it, SO beautiful! :love:

If you want your romance ground down into harsh realism, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert is fantastic! But I also second Wuthering Heights.

Erm, how exactly is Wuthering Heights a romance novel? I personally don't find it romantic in any sense of the word. Maybe more of a tragic love story perhaps?
