The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_cantos) especially the two first books; Hyperion and The fall of Hyperion. I cant understand why Simmons only gets mentioned in one reply. These books are very much character and plot driven, with alot of refrence to classic literature. The first two books has a female co-lead characer; Brawne Lamia (the story follows a group of 6 people, and their individual stories), her story (too) has romance. I first read "The Endymion Omnibus", not knowing it was book 3 and 4 in the tetralogy known as "The Hyperion Cantos", and I was awestruck. These two books also have a female protagonist; Aenea, though the lead character is a man, she gradually take centerstage with him. These two books also has elements of romance.
Thanks for all the suggestions
