Stories of the Heart

I hurried into a big box store today and was promptly waylaid by pink and red and glitter. I’m still not sure why there were swimsuits prominently displayed among the February flamboyance but there is no doubt that Valentine’s Day is upon us. So in the spirit of the season, I thought it’d be fun to discuss our favorite love stories. Here are five I thought of immediately and in no particular order — except “The Thorn Birds”. There was no doubt this had to be first on my list. I have followed Maggie’s life and heartbreaks so many times my copy is falling apart. This novel delivers more tears than joy yet the tumultuous relationships remain some of my favorites. Actually that seems to be a theme in my list…

• “The Thorn Birds” Colleen McCullough
• “Gone With The Wind” Margaret Mitchell
• “Wuthering Heights” Emily Bronte
• “Anna Karenina” Leo Tolstoy
• “Tess of the D’Urbervilles“ Thomas Hardy

Bonus! I had to include this short story. The relationship recounted is so compelling I found myself with chills clutching the book.

• “Balance” Kim Edwards (published in “The Secrets of a Fire King”)

So what about you? What would you include on YOUR list?
