Why isn't a soap classed as drama? Just as a matter of interest lol.

A Certain Smile. Françoise Sagan

Don't they just! But no, Greatnan!

Tony and Maria...West Side Story

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger ......The Harry Potter books

Ken and Deidre....Coronation Street

Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar... Brokeback Mountain

Homer and Marge Simpson

Fred and Wilma Flintstone

Do soaps count as drama? Roy and Hayley in Coronation Street have a pretty unconventional marriage!

Oh, and how could I forget The Old Wives Tale, Arnold Bennett. A bit neglected now, but brilliant, I think.

And The French Lieutenant's Woman. John Fowles

Brilliant! I keep texting them to her, so she has a good selection already. (Mum is an English teacher too, as was I!)

And if you want to be really unconventional there's The Well of Lonliness.

There's Pygmalion of course!

Don't know if she's looking for 'classics' but springing straight to mind is 'Sacred Hearts' by Sarah Dunant.

It's a riveting story set in 16C Italy about a young girl forced into a convent whose weapon is her glorious voice. I'm not going to give away the plot but it is romantic and very suspenseful.

And it's unconventional.

And what about Charlotte Grey by Sebastian Faulks?

If I think of any more I'll post them later.

We think it will have to depend on historical / social context. Thanks, bags!

I'm reading a series that starts with "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" by Laurie R King. Tomboyish girl of 15 walking on Sussex Downs trips over man of 50 who is watching bees, shocks him by deducing why he is watching them, as well as he could have done. He turns out to be Sherlock Holmes, she becomes his apprentice.

It is VERY platonic for the first several books, until she is in her twenties, so not exactly conventionally romantic, but certainly an odd couple, and a lot more strong bonds than a sweetie-pie romantic attachment.

Tristan and Iseult?

Depends what is meant by unconventional.
