I want a book written in the style of lonesome dove, memoirs of a geisha, night circus, etc that has an epic romance. Doesn’t have to be the main storyline. Don’t want general romance/smut. I want something well written that is deeply loving.
Thanks.

A Soldier of the Great War. Read it over ten years ago and still think about it all the time
CIRCE!! By Madeline Miller. More mythological than romantic, the story of Circe’s relationships and love over the centuries is deeply compelling. Miller’s writing brings a sense of epic romance to the various interactions that Circe has, without making it the central focus
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr – primarily a historical fiction novel set during WWII, it has subtle but powerful romantic elements. The story weaves together the lives of a blind French girl and a young German soldier, capturing a sense of connection and longing amidst the chaos of war
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger – explores the epic romance between Henry, who has a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and Clare, the woman who loves him through it all. It is beautifully written and deals with love, loss, and the impact of time on relationships
