Touching, delicate, slightly sad, female novels are ideal for quiet home evenings. Each reader has his own plush blanket, a cozy sofa and his top 10 love stories, whose heroines are so pleasant to imagine. Add something from our list to them. You will like it, you will see.

1. “On Christmas Eve”, Rosamund Pilcher

The last novel of the successful British novel by Rosamunda Pilcher was written in 2000 and, strictly speaking, completes the 20th century. However, it would be very symbolic to open our list for them-firstly, the pilker, a recognized master of the female novel, deliberately puts this book in his biography and as if transfers the baton to his young colleagues. And secondly, this novel has an ideal New Year’s atmosphere. Five not too happy people, by chance, find themselves at Christmas in the same house in the north of Britain. And each of them awaits wonderful changes. Mountains of snow, fire in the fireplace, good old Scotland. A warm book in which there is a place and light melancholy, humor, and living intrigue. (Word, 2011)

2. “Just Together”, Anna Havald

A wise book about love and loneliness, which many readers still consider unsurpassed in the work of a French writer. The story of the girl of Camille and two young people living in the neighborhood, gracefully woven from everyday routine, small quarrels, unexpected victories and accidents, joyful and not very. Roman collected many literary awards, translated into dozens of languages. The director Claude Berry partially managed to convey this lace atmosphere in the film of the same name with Audrey Totu and Guillaume Kane. (Fluid, 2008)

3. “There, pray, love”, Elizabeth Gilbert

Having survived the divorce, loss of work and depression, the heroine (and alter of the ego) of the writer Elizabeth Gilbert goes to Italy, India and Indonesia. Following her adventures, the reader himself becomes a participant in a fascinating journey, together with

the heroine, joining the values of other crops. In the footsteps of the Elizabeth route, some enterprising agencies began to offer turnkey tourist packages to lovers of “magic pills”. When buying one of one, do not forget to clarify the operator: is the clause “Achieving happiness” is provided in the contract? (Ripol Classic, 2014).

4. “Look at me”, Cecilia Ahern

A light female novel touches on rather serious topics: how not to be afraid of memories, why do not try to keep everything under control. Are we always able to understand those who are next to us, and is it time for us to finally stop looking at the beautiful landscape surrounding us and become part of it? The young Irish writer Cecilia Achaern asks these simple questions with sincere heat, thanks to which a fantastic love story between an eternally busy strict Elizabeth and an imaginary friend of her little nephew acquires an unexpected depth and volume. (Foreigner, 2008).

5. “Loneliness of ordinary numbers”, Paolo Jordano

Young heroes Paolo Jordano feel pain and loneliness since childhood. Alich, just in revenge, to the father, who forced her to play sports, unsuccessfully left the ski track and forever remained lame. Matia started his underdeveloped sister to the park, just not to disgrace her at the birthday of a classmate, and her sister disappeared without a trace. Alice and Matia seemed to be created for each other, but Jordano did not even think to treat readers with a happy end. His debut novel became a sensation in Italy and was translated into several languages, which means one thing: too many distinguished the metaphor of his own existence in the elegant name of the book. But saying that people are doomed to loneliness, like simple numbers that are divided only into themselves, Jordano does not deprive the reader of hope. And together with his heroes, he still smiles through us through the tears of Juliet Mazina’s famous smile in the final of “Kabiria Nights”. (Ripol Classic, 2009)

6. “Call of the Angel”, Guillaume Musso

Is it possible to build a prosperous life, avoiding any thoughts about the past? Turn, say, this is the past into an encrypted file and bury it in the memory of your mobile device? It seems that Madelin, the heroine of the novel of the young and already well -known French writer Guillaoma Musso, successfully coped with this task. However, a random meeting of Madelin at the Paris airport with the owner of the restaurant Jonathan will show that electronics is the best way not to keep secrets, but … to deal with them! (Eksmo, 2013)

7. “Parsley syndrome” Dina Rubin

The main character of the book is a brilliant puppeteer and puppet affairs master Peter Vskysusov, since childhood in love with one beautiful little girl, a spilled doll. This, however, is not a fairy tale, as one might think, but the story of Petit’s painful passion for Lisa, the story of her dependence on him and his inability to give her freedom. Parsley Syndrome is one of Dina Rubina’s most suffered and mature novels. Everyone is a little theatrical, the heroes shout too loudly with pain and tenderness, but real blood flows on this scene, and perhaps that is why genuine catharsis is accomplished in the auditorium. (Eksmo, 2010)

8. “Chronicles of love”, Nicole Krauss

A sentimental and bright epic of a young American writer translated into dozens of languages. Its main plot lines pass through the topics close to each (eternal love, betrayal, fidelity) and key points of European and American history – the Second World War, Holocaust, mass emigration. And at the same time, the events are full of secrets and intertwined so fancifully that it is necessary to understand how the Jewish emigrant, the deep old man Leo Gurski is connected with the 15-year-old girl Alma, who dreams of learning to live in wildlife, who is a mysterious stranger who wishes to get an old translation ofthe novel “Chronicle of Love”, and who is its author, you need to read the book until the finale. Read and amaze: all the heroes are really deeply connected, and all are necessary for each other. (Corpus, 2011).

9. “See you with you”, Jojo Moyes

Louise Clark has been living in a small town for twenty -six years, she does not have the most sensitive family and not the most attentive boyfriend. In search of work, she decides to become a nurse of the young and rich, but paralyzed Will Trainor. He would like to manage other people’s destinies or at least his own, but even more – he would like to die. Of course, they quarrel many times, and then love each other according to the laws of the genre. Nevertheless, the book of British Jojo Moyes is a novel about true love, where those who love are free in choice and can count on the support of their loved ones, no matter what a difficult decision they make. (ABC, 2013).

10. “One day”, David Nichols

The story of Emma and Dexter is the story of two very dissimilar young people who will need years to learn how to really love, or rather … to be friends-that is, to understand, hear, support each other. When this happens? Five, seven, twelve years later? A warm, sincere book, which is a rare case – a wonderful adaptation with Anne Hathaway in the title role only enriched (Ripol Classic, 2011)
