This book by Theodor Fontane was ok but there was something missing. It could have been something great. It's about a couple Lene and Botho. Their love is brief and can't last because of their social status since she is just a poor seamstress. Eventually Botho marries a shallow woman and realizes just how great Lene was but gives her blessing to her new husband Franke. Fontane's book
Effi Briest is a more popular classic. I'm curious about it since it's had multiple movie adaptations. I'll have to read that some time.
