A few classics come to mind, but since I'm not a native English speaker and it took me more than a week to finish "A Tale Of Two Cities", I'd prefer a more recent author.
First novel that springs to mind, as an example, is "The Memoirs Of A Geisha".
Do you have any suggestions?
Ah, how about Conflict of Honors or Agent of Change by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Both are set in their Liaden Universe, and both are "Space Operas" but with some definite romance. And highly enjoyable reads. (Each is part of an omnibus ebook edition, available DRM-Free in multiple formats for $6 USD. Hard to lose.)
