  1. Thank you! However, in The Piano, Ada does begin to speak at the end of the story. I'm interested in stories where it doesn't happen.
  2. I would like to ask you whether you know about any romance books where the heroine is mute, with two additional details: 1) She is not deaf (i. e. hears perfectly, just doesn't speak) 2) No cop-out at the end (i. e. she doesn't start speaking) Thank you in advance!
  3. Hi, I'm looking for fictional examples where the characters speak in broken English or somewhat bizarre syntax by choice (either for fun, just because they prefer it that way, or for some other reason). Thanks in advance!
  4. Hi, I've recently found out that there are surprisingly few novels with speech impeded love interests. Actually, there are lots of shy stuttering heroines ("Devil in Winter", "Convenient Marriage", etc.), but I'd prefer something different, like a lisp or pronouncing r's as w's. I personally know only one example: lady Charlotte from "Tickle amongst the cornstalks". Thanks!
  5. Thank you One thing more, I'd prefer female characters (there is a pretty long list in Wikipedia, but it includes mostly males).
  6. Hello, I have a somewhat unusual request. I'm looking for books where the character (either a main or a secondary one) refers to him/herself in the third person. Please note that I do not mean the author or the narrator referring to himself in the third person as a literary device; I mean fictional characters who have such a habit in everyday life
  7. Hello, I have an unusual request... Do you know any stories where the female romantic interest is a soothsayer/oracle/wise-woman or some other spiritually enlightened character? For example, the hero first comes to her for spiritual advice/pieces of wisdom, and then gradually falls in love with her?
  8. Hello, I'm looking for a book with a plot point like this... There's a romantic couple, and the female (romantic interest/girlfriend/spouse) knows some foreign language the hero does not. So she teases him by speaking it and not translating what she said. I think I vaguely remember this from somewhere, though I cannot recall the title. I'll be grateful for your suggestions. Thanks
