Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Entitled as a historical fantasy novel “Books in Outlander The series is the best in decent stories, especially if you love history. The book began immediately after World War II, when Claire Boshamp Randal ends up on a postwar journey with her husband English in Scotland. Claire accidentally travels back in time until the 1700s in Scotland. There she is a “guest” of a Scottish Lyerr, who just happens to have a single nephew Jamie Fraser.
With Scotland filled with pre -war sentiment to the British, Claire not only is in danger of an unaccompanied English lady, but also with his knowledge of the future. Again and again, she and Jamie find themselves with different adventures. The romance slowly takes on each passing day the two spend together. However, the book has a love triangle that covers centuries because Claire cannot stop thinking about his first love Frank Randall.
Only the first book in a series of nine, romance and love that lasts the test of time (literally) covers all nine books with a finish that should not be ruined. Starz lifted Outlander Series in 2014 and is currently completing. While the show is good, books (as always) are better with the sense of history, letters written and, of course, the stories of love.
Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell
Gone with the wind is my favorite book of all time. This is probably because I read it as a 12-year-old. The book is romanticized by the least attractive part of our American history (civil war) in terms of the Confederation.
Scarlett O’Hara is the Bel of the ball. As she believes she loves a particular man, one who can never have, her life revolves around men coming and going from her world.
Easily, all this is dense, read, showing the stream of Scarlett from a young marriage, to marriage of convenience with what she ultimately believes is her last marriage of comfort, while getting into the history of internal struggle and conflict our country.
Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
This is the story of two incredible teens. Noah Kalhun is a poor worker with a blue collar who loves stories. Ali Nelson is a rich girl from the city who is planned for her life by her parents with white collars. They meet during the summer just before World War II and immediately fall in love. Ali’s parents, however, guarantee that the early summer split from their holiday home, breaks their love, or so Ali thought.
Quickly forward to after the Second World War and Ali was engaged with a southern socialist when he found an article in a newspaper for Noah. The real love ring in the whole book. Telling as a story that the current man reads an elderly woman who has Alzheimer’s. At the end of this book, tears were flowing.
