    Some books that could partially fit:

    • In Anna Karenina by Levy Tolstoy a married woman falls in love with a young man
    • In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne a man loves a married woman
    • In The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, by Henry Fielding, a poor boy likes a rich girl, but the father of the girl does not agree, but they end up together
    • In The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni, the boy wants to marry the girl, but a very rich and powerful man is in love with the girl and want to marry her too
    • In The End of the Affair by Graham Green, both the man and the woman are with someone else and they end up together

      It’s a great book but I dunno about boy meets girl. It’s more civilisation dies and is reborn a few thousand years later with the weird leftovers of the previous one.

      Or did it have a romance I am forgetting?

        I’d hardly call it a romance, there is a subplot, but the person just didn’t bother reading the prompt.

        That said, I’d also highly recommend children of time lol

      OP be aware that this is a series that is unfinished and will likely never be finished. Good books but don’t read it expecting an ending
