I'd say anything by Charles Dickens, but he's a little hard to read.
I always have a kind of touch and go experience with him for the first 20 pages or so, until the 19th century English gets settled into my head. Then it's smooth sailing, except for when he goes overboard with one-sentence paragraphs. Fortunatly, that doesn't happen very often!

Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is not to be missed. Not exactly in the same vein as you are, perhaps, thinking of, but one of my very favorite books and it has to do with love.
