The fourty-seventh book: #1004 Chaireas and Kallirhoe - Chariton

This ancient love story is possibly the first real novel - according to some of the introduction I read almost their Harlequin style novel. And it starts with the married couple splitting because they think of each other that they're dead, with Callirhoe mostly being followed on her life, as she's so beautiful every man wants her. It's a lot of adventures, near misses and desires, going partially the way you expect, but going for some grander than most of these stories do. It feels different, especially as it's more about reunification, creating a story that has a more interesting plot than most of these.
