Pride and Prejudice named most romantic book; Persuasion also in top ten
The Romantic Novelist’s Association, the UK’s only professional writers’ association specializing in romantic fiction, has named Pride and Prejudice as the most romantic novel of all time. Persuasion was No. 7 on the list.
Jenny Haddon of the Romantic Novelists’ Association - who is a successful novelist in her own right - commented, “This is the heartland of romantic fiction and these are novels that have stood the test of time. They are very varied, even the two Austens: Pride and Prejudice is lively and biting, while Persuasion is an achingly honest story of a woman ‘past her first bloom’.
What we want to know is, how the heck is Rebecca a romantic book?
