Amazon Books: 10 romance novels to read for Valentine’s Day
Love Story by Erich Segal
Love Story is The Fault in Our Stars of our parents’ generation. While a romance, it is tinged with tragedy that will make you reach for the tissue box by the end of the book.
Oliver is a wealthy man, attending Harvard to earn a law degree. Jenny is a working-class woman attending Radcliffe to get a degree in music. Two opposite, who naturally become very attracted to one another.
The book follows the two of them as they fall in love in college, and the hardships they face as a young, newly married couple. And dealing with something that no young couple should ever have to face in their lives.
Published in 1970, the book was turned into a very successful, and very well translated, movie adaptation. If you’re not satisfied with ending the story with this book, there is a sequel, but having read it myself, it doesn’t hold up to the first book.
