Answer 1

Time Traveler's Wife Audrey Neffenegger

About a woman who meets her husband when she is six, of course he happens to be 36. Now before you think this is a gross book, he gets displaced in time. He travels through time and this makes for a love story so powerful.

It is a little confussing to begin with but if you stick to it, it all makes sense after a chapter or two. It is about 500 pgs but so worth the effort. By the end you feel like you are living this life with them.

Answer 5

You should try:
The valley of horses, and The plains of passage, by Jean Marie Auel. This two books are fantastic. They are set in prehistoric Europe and explores interactions of Cro-Magnon people with Neanderthals. Ayla, the protagonist was human but was raised by neanderthals, so she is different from the others human., but she is also special. Her adventure are filled by love, mystery adventures....

Another good book is:
Kushiel's Dart, a novel by Jacqueline Carey - A massive fantasy tale about the violent death of an old age and the birth of a new one. Here is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Born with a scarlet mote in her left eye, Phedre no Delaunay is sold into indentured servitude as a child. When her bond is purchased by an enigmatic nobleman, she is trained in history, theology, politics, foreign languages, and the arts of pleasure. Above all, she learns the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Exquisite courtesan, yet talented spy, she may seem an unlikely heroine... but when Phedre stumbles upon a plot threatening her homeland, Terre d'Ange, she has no choice but to act. Betrayed into captivity in the barbarous northland of Skaldia, and accompanied only by disdainful young warrior-priest, Phedre makes a harrowing escape and an even more harrowing journey, to return to her people and deliver them a warning of the impending invasion. And that proves only the first step in a quest that will take her to the edge of despair and beyond.

Answer 6

You should read "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.
It is an amazing book, set in Russia during the 1870's. A bored rich wife, feel that she is trapped in an unhappy marrige that she can't get out of, then she meets another man, but is he willing to sacrifice everything for a married woman?
Tolstoy based the book on a real event and characters he knew.
It's a masterpiece of literature, often overlooked today!

You will find everything that you are looking for in this book.

Answer 7

It depends on what age range youre looking for. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants have four books, all of which are very cute and entertaining but are aimed at a teen audience. The Memory Keeper's Daughter is a very good book I just finished. Also Jodi Picoult writes a few novels, some of which are very intense, but all of which are very good.

Answer 8

There are a lot of good books out there - C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and Nicolas Sparks all have some great ones! But Paul Hattaway's "The Heavenly Man" was amazing! It's not fiction.

I once heard someone say that it changed her life. I thought, "How can a book, change someone's life?!" Being skeptical, I went to the library, got it and read it. I must say, it was not only the best book I ever read, it changed my life too!! If you decide to get it, beware, it may just change your life! :)

Answer 9

Nicholas Sparks (any of his books), Sherman Alexie, Amy Tan (Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter), Joy Harjo, Louise Erdrich.

"The Christmas Box" - the author has three names, Richard Paul Evans maybe??? But hte story is great - a quick read, but a good one for the holidays. There are two other stories in the series, but I haven't read them yet.
